Abstract

1.1. Sixty-six Rh-negative mothers with homozygous Rh-positive husbands or two or more Rh-positive children have been studied in relation to the incidence of obstetric procedures. None of these women had been immunized. Twenty-nine, or 44 per cent, had a history of obstetric incidents other than routine delivery.2.2. Twenty-four Rh-negative immunized mothers were likewise studied in relation to the incidence of obstetric procedures. All but one of these mothers had given birth to an erythroblastotic infant. Seventeen per cent of these patients had experienced obstetric procedures other than routine delivery.3.3. Rh antiserum titers were found to be misleading in prognosticating the outcome of the present or future pregnancies.4.4. Isoimmunization occurs during normal pregnancy in some women and obstetric factors do not seem to influence this process.
