Erythroblastosis Fetalis
Erythroblastosis fetalis, also called hemolytic disease of the newborn, is a condition in which the baby's red blood cells are destroyed at an accelerated rate, generally because of a blood incompatibility between the mother and the fetus.
How it may present: In the newborn, yellowish coloring of the skin, paleness or swelling may be observed; some cases are identified during pregnancy follow-up.
Why follow-up matters: Prenatal care makes it possible to monitor blood compatibility and anticipate situations that require close attention to the baby.
Who treats it? The pediatrician cares for the newborn, while pregnancy follow-up falls to obstetrics and gynecology. If you have questions about blood compatibility during pregnancy, it is advisable to raise them with a professional.
