ERYTHROBLASTOSIS FETALIS IN THE FIRST-BORN PREVENTION OF ITS MOST SEVERE FORMS PHILIP LEVINE M.D.1 and R. K. WALLER M.D.1 1 Laboratories of the Ortho Research Foundation, Linden, N.J. The incidence of fatal forms of erythroblastosis fetalis in the first-born can be diminished by the simple measure of transfusing all Rh negative female patients, even as infants, with Rh negative blood. Once a female patient is found to be Rh negative, all subsequent transfusions must be carried out with Rh negative blood. The indications are that sufficient human anti-Rh serums will become available for the more extensive Rh tests required for the prevention of iso-immunization by transfusion.
