Anti-E alloimmunizatio in pregnancy: Management dilemmas

Abstract

Compared to anti-D alloimmunization, anti-E alloimmunization is a less common cause of hemolytic diseases of the newborn. Being a less potent immunogen, clinical manifestations of anti-E alloimmunization are more variable and usually of less severity. However, the clinical obstetric management of these cases of anti-E alloimmunization is just as challenging. We report here the management of a patient with anti-E alloimmunization to illustrate the controversies of invasive and non-invasive monitoring in the management of such cases.
