42. Hemolytic Disease
An injection of anti-D antibody is given to Rh+ women immediately after the birth of the baby (the parents are too preoccupied with the new arrival to notice!). The injection contains antibodies to Rh factor, which destroy any of the baby’s blood cells that may have entered the woman’s bloodstream before they have a chance to sensitize her.
