Abstract

In 944 Rh-negative patients who received rhesus immunoglobulin (anti-D) following genetic amniocentesis, not a single case of Rh sensitization occurred. Routine administration of a small dose (100 micrograms) of anti-D is effective in preventing Rh sensitization after midtrimester amniocentesis.
