Clinical case of unfavorable pregnancy outcome for the newborn in immunoincompatible pregnancy: difficulties of diagnosis and treatment

During the whole period of gestation, there occur complicated immunobiological mother-fetus relationships, which to a large extent determine further course of pregnancy and outcome for the newborn. Hemolysis of erythrocytes under the influence of antibodies,formed in mothers to fetal erythrocyte antigens, causes hemolytic disease of the fetus/newborn. The problem of hemolytic disease in immunoincompatible pregnancy,first of all in Rh-incompatibility, can’t be considered completely solved in this country,despite the achievements of perinatal medicine. The paper presents a clinical case of unfavorable perinatal pregnancy outcome in case of rhesus-immunization of the mother against the background of growing titer of highly agglutinable class of antibodies and unstable indices of maximum systolic speed in the medial cerebral artery (growth up to the zone “A” with successive fall to the zone “C”) without any other signs of fetal disorders available. This clinical case demonstrates actuality of the problem and difficulties in diagnosis of hemolytic disease of the fetus.
