Abstract
Once alloimmunization is diagnosed during pregnancy, maternal titers must be followed unless it is known that the father is also Rh negative. Maternal levels should be followed until a critical titer is reached, after which MCA Doppler studies should be performed. In severe cases, intrauterine transfusion may be needed [1].
