2. Description of Glaucoma
Symptoms and characteristics
ABO Incompatibility is a fairly common and milder type of hemolytic disease of the newborn, and is caused by the result of an immune system reaction. Rh Incompatibility, another hemolytic disease of the newborn, is associated with poorer fetal outcomes. ABO incompatibility occurs when blood from two different - and incomparable - types of blood are mixed together.
ABO incompatibility is a relatively common type of hemolytic disease of newborns, and may occur during blood transfusion reactions of older people. For purposes of this article, we will discuss ABO Incompatibility of the newborn.
In contrast to an Rh Incompatibility of the newborn, ABO incompatibility of the newborn does not generally become more severe with subsequent pregnancies.
