Modern management of Rhesus disease.
The cloning of the RhDCcEe complex has made it likely that the polymerase chain reaction will be incorporated into the modern management of rhesus sensitization. Currently, the accuracy of this technique is under evaluation. Its specific role in management protocols is not yet clear. The use of this technology will hopefully avoid the need for cordocentesis or serial amniocenteses in some patients.
