5 Questions
Match the following ways of sensitizing Rh-ve mothers with the corresponding outcomes:
Previous transfusion with Rh +ve blood = First infant may suffer erythroblastosis fetalis Marrying an Rh +ve man = Rh antibodies formed in mother's plasma may pass to fetus causing erythroblastosis fetalis Passage of Rh +ve fetal red cells to mother's general circulation during delivery = Formation of Rh antibodies in mother's plasma Fetal-maternal haemorrhage during pregnancy = Sensitization of Rh-ve mother by fetal Rh +ve red cells
Match the following outcomes of sensitizing Rh-ve mothers with the corresponding consequences for subsequent pregnancies:
First infant suffers erythroblastosis fetalis = Second and following infants usually suffer the disease Rh antibodies in mother's plasma pass to fetus causing erythroblastosis fetalis = Second and following infants usually suffer the disease Sensitization of Rh-ve mother by fetal Rh +ve red cells = Occurs mostly at birth Formation of Rh antibodies in mother's plasma = Passage of Rh +ve fetal red cells to mother's general circulation during delivery
Match the following situations with the corresponding method of sensitizing Rh-ve mothers:
Receiving transfusion with Rh +ve blood = Previous transfusion with Rh +ve blood Pregnancy with an Rh +ve fetus = Marrying an Rh +ve man Passage of fetal-maternal haemorrhage during pregnancy = Fetal-maternal haemorrhage during pregnancy Delivery of an Rh +ve fetus = Passage of Rh +ve fetal red cells to mother's general circulation during delivery
Match the following ways of sensitizing Rh-ve mothers with the corresponding formation of Rh antibodies:
Previous transfusion with Rh +ve blood = Rh antibodies formed in mother's plasma Marrying an Rh +ve man = Rh antibodies formed in mother's plasma Passage of Rh +ve fetal red cells to mother's general circulation during delivery = Formation of Rh antibodies in mother's plasma Fetal-maternal haemorrhage during pregnancy = Formation of Rh antibodies in mother's plasma
Match the following consequences for subsequent pregnancies with the corresponding outcomes of sensitizing Rh-ve mothers:
Second and following infants usually suffer the disease = Rh antibodies in mother's plasma pass to fetus causing erythroblastosis fetalis Occurs mostly at birth = Sensitization of Rh-ve mother by fetal Rh +ve red cells Passage of Rh +ve fetal red cells to mother's general circulation during delivery = Formation of Rh antibodies in mother's plasma
Test your knowledge on Rh incompatibility and sensitization in Rh-negative mothers with this quiz. Explore the various ways in which Rh antigen sensitization can occur, including previous transfusions with Rh-positive blood and pregnancies with Rh-positive fetuses.
