AB In  this  disease,  there  is  fetal  to  maternal  transfer  of  red  cells  that  results  in  immunization  of  the  mother.  Then,  transplacental  transfer  of  maternal  anti–red  cell  antibodies  to  the  fetus  shortens  the  life  span  of  fetal  or  newborn  red  cells.Manifestations  include  fetal  hemolytic  anemia,  jaundice,  and  hepatosplenomegaly;  in  more  severe  cases,  anasarca  and  kernicterus  also  occur.
