AB  - Rh  incompatibility  is  a  condition  that  occurs  during  pregnancy  when  a  mother  with  Rh-negative  blood  [who  is  previously  sensitized  to  the  Rh(D)  antigen]  is  exposed  to  her  fetus  who  is  Rh-positive  leading  to  the  development  of  Rh  antibodies  and  resulting  in  fetal  isoimmune  hemolytic  anemia  of  variable  severity.  The  onset  of  clinical  disease  begins  in  utero  as  the  result  of  active  placental  transfer  of  maternal  immunoglobulin  (Ig)G-Rh  antibody.  It  is  manifested  as  a  partially  compensated,  moderate  to  severe  hemolytic  anemia  at  birth,  with  unconjugated  hyperbilirubinemia  developing  in  the  early  neonatal  period.
