The influence of intrauterine transfusion upon birthweight in rhesus hemolytic disease.
A study of the birthweight of 876 babies affected by rhesus hemolytic disease has shown that this is reduced in the most severely affected cases, when intrauterine transfusion is not required. However, in 259 very severely affected babies where intrauterine transfusion was necessary, the birthweight was similar to that of the mildly affected and unaffected babies.
