It is worrying to note that six (23%) of the babies readmitted for ET had isoimmune haemolysis, suggesting that this condition was overlooked at birth.

Monitoring of babies with the risk of isoimmune haemolysis is especially important.

The systematic review completed by Alcock and Liley in 2002 [29] evaluates whether IVIG is effective in reducing the need for exchange transfusion in neonates with isoimmune hemolytic jaundice ("isoimmune," also "alloimmune," refers to the development of antibodies in an individual against antibodies from another individual in the same species [30], a broad group of diseases to which ABO incompatibility belongs).

Unusual patterns of newborn jaundice, especially jaundice within the first day after delivery, should result in prompt follow-up investigations of prenatal maternal testing for ABO or unusual isoimmune antibodies.

Maternal prenatal testing of ABO and Rh(D) typing and a serum screen for unusual isoimmune antibodies should be reviewed if available.
