Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hemolytic disease of the newborn occurs when an Rh negative mother delivers a second Rh positive newborn. During the delivery of the first Rh positive fetus, the mother's immune system is sensitized to the Rh antigen and produces Rh antibodies. If the mother then carries a second Rh positive fetus, these Rh antibodies can cross the placenta and attack the red blood cells of the fetus, leading to hemolysis and other complications.
