Summary
Red cell alloimmunization in pregnancy, or hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN), has long been a major cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality. No antenatal treatment was available up to the 1960s and the only option was thus (preterm) induction, to enable neonatal treatment. This changed with the introduction of intrauterine intraperitoneal transfusion in 1963, although the complication risk of these and the later introduced ultrasound-guided intravascular transfusions long remained substantially high.
