Popis: Anemia, thrombocytopenia and neutropenia in perinatal period may result from placentally transferred maternal IgG allo or autoantibodies against RBC, Plt and PMN antigens (Ags). Alloantibodies (alloAbs) against RBC Ags most commonly cause of severe fetoneonatal anemia are anti-D and other alloAbs of the Rh system (anti-c, anti-c plus anti-E) as well as anti-Kell. Although maternal anti-D immunoprophylaxis has dramatically reduced the prevalence of feto-neonatal Rh hemolytic disease, during the last decade in our Neonatal Unit 60 affected infants have been observed. More than 70% of them showed early plus late or late severe anemia which had often required prenatal and/or postnatal RBC transfusions (Ts).
