Abstract

The article focuses on intrauterine transfusion (IUT) as a treatment for severe fetal anemia, particularly in cases of hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN). It presents a case study of a 40-year-old woman with a history of alloimmunization who underwent IUT for one of her twins, resulting in complex changes to the twins' blood types and antigen statuses post-birth. The findings highlight the challenges in managing blood transfusions and antibody considerations in neonates following IUT, emphasizing the need for careful blood type compatibility in future transfusions. The case underscores the implications of using type O Rh(D)-negative blood in IUT and the potential for discrepancies in ABO/Rh typing after transfusion. [Extracted from the article]
