• The study presents the frequency of occurrence of newborn haemolitic disease caused by Rh (D) system incompatibility in the years 1980-1999. Serological incompatibility prophylaxis was introduced in 1980. Routine use of anti-D immunoglobulin has led to a significant reduction in the number of newborns with haemalitic disease caused by Rh (D) system incompatibility. In the years 1990-1999 no newborn deaths attributable to this immunization were recorded. Long-term prophylaxis has greatly reduced the occurrence of this pathology in newborns. Nonetheless, in contemporary perinatology we continue to record occasional cases of haemolitic disease in newborns caused by blood group incompatibility between mother and foetus.
