[Prevention of Rh immunization after delivery and abortion].

Out of 845 Rh-negative parturients with Rh-positive children, 515 (60.64%) accepted the application of IgG-anti D serum. The rest refused it, because they had two or more children. Out of 82 Rh-negative pregnant women who had spontaneous abortion, 30 (36.58%) were covered by the IgG-anti D prophylaxis. Artificial abortion was applied in 3148 Rh-negative women, of whom 178 (5.60%) took IgG-anti D serum. Following spontaneous and artificial abortions IgG-anti D was applied mainly in women with no children or with one child. Parity influenced the application of prophylaxis and in artificial abortions also the fact that in these cases women were to pay for the preparation. The control was carried out in the subsequent pregnancy: after delivery only one Rh immunization (0.19%) has so far been recorded--none, however, after spontaneous and artificial abortions.
