Intrauterine blood transfusion is the mainstay of treatment of fetal rhesus hemolytic anemia with optimal perinatal outcome. Postnatal immunoglobulin therapy has been successfully used in the management of alloimmunized neonates and has shown to decrease the need for exchange transfusion. We report the first case series of fetal immunoglobulin therapy in the antenatal management of severe Rh incompatibility. Copyright (c) 2007 S. Karger AG, Basel.
