title: An unusual case of rhesus isoimmunization.
abstract: A case of rhesus isoimmunization with spontaneous improvement in severity of erythroblastosis with advancing parity is presented. The isoimmunized pregnant woman after having 3 perinatal deaths all due to severe hydrops fetalis, subsequently delivered 2 Rh-positive surviving infants. In her last pregnancy, the timing of delivery was indicated by cessation of fetal movements, followed by a sinusoidal fetal heart rate pattern. The newborn, needing 5 exchanging blood transfusions, subsequently did well.
