dc.description.abstractUnlike ABO antigens, Rh antigens are present only on Red Blood Cells (RBC), RhO(D) antigen is clinically the most important in the Rh system because it is highly antigenic. In India, as reported, 95% population is Rh positive whereas 05% is Rh Negative(approximately). Rh antibodies are the major cause3 of haemolytic disease of newborn (HDN) and lead to destruction of transfused Rh Positive red cells. A total number of 799 pregnant mothers having RhD Negative Blood Group (and also their husband possessing RhD Positive Blood Group) were surveyed. Out of the 799 babies born, 662 possessed RhD Positive and 137 possessed RhD Negative Blood Group. Besides this, twin babies born of RhD Negative mother and RhD Positive Biological Father were computed separately (Total No.of such mothers being 12). In case of twin delivery, the twins babies all possessed RhD Positive Blood Group. Calculation shows that about 17% of babies were RhD Negative and 83% were RhD Positive.en_US
