In 944 Rh-negative patients who received rhesus immunoglobulin (anti-D) following genetic amniocentesis, not a single case of Rh sensitization occurred. Routine administration of a small dose (100 micrograms) of anti-D is effective in preventing Rh sensitization after midtrimester amniocentesis.

D012203 Rh Isoimmunization 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.
