Abstract

Perinatal Hemolytic Disease is uncommon today due to its prevention. However, there are cases of highly sensitized mothers who wish to have a child, that forces this desired pregnancy to be controlled in a special way and be subjected to invasive procedures not exempt from fetal morbidity and mortality. Prenatal use of human inmunoglobulin in the mother may represent a therapeutic alternative. We present a case in which its use prevented the development of intrauterine disease and favored a good neonatal evolution despite the fact that the initial prognosis was very adverse.
