Definition
English
:
The process by which fetal Rh+
erythrocytes
enter the circulation of an Rh- mother, causing her to produce
IMMUNOGLOBULIN G
antibodies
, which can cross the
placenta
and destroy the
erythrocytes
of Rh+ fetuses.
Rh isoimmunization
can also be caused by
BLOOD TRANSFUSION
with mismatched blood.
