Feto-maternal red cell alloimmunization is defined by the presence in a pregnant woman of alloantibodies directed against blood group antigens present on the red blood cells of the fetus and inherited by the father. It arises from the immune response to a first contact to these same antigens during a prior transfusion, transplant or pregnancy. The placental transfer and the fixation of the antibodies on the fetal red cells antigenic targets lead to a haemolysis in the fetus and the newborn. The resulting haemolytic disease can show different clinical forms, from a mild anaemia with neonatal hyperbilirubinemia to a major fetal damage with stillbirth caused by hydrops fetalis. The objective of management strategies of feto-maternal alloimmunization is to detect and monitor maternal alloimmunization and to appreciate the effects on the fetus or the newborn.

Abstract
Feto-maternal red cell alloimmunization is defined by the presence in a pregnant woman of alloantibodies directed against blood group antigens present on the red blood cells of the fetus and inherited by the father. It arises from the immune response to a first contact to these same antigens during a prior transfusion, transplant or pregnancy. The placental transfer and the fixation of the antibodies on the fetal red cells antigenic targets lead to a haemolysis in the fetus and the newborn. The resulting haemolytic disease can show different clinical forms, from a mild anaemia with neonatal hyperbilirubinemia to a major fetal damage with stillbirth caused by hydrops fetalis. The objective of management strategies of feto-maternal alloimmunization is to detect and monitor maternal alloimmunization and to appreciate the effects on the fetus or the newborn.

Abstract: (french)
L'allo-immunisation érythrocytaire fœto-maternelle est définie par la présence chez une femme enceinte d'alloanticorps dirigés contre des antigènes de groupe sanguin présents sur les hématies du fœtus et hérités du père. Elle résulte de la réponse immunitaire à un contact préalable avec ces mêmes antigènes lors de transfusion, greffe ou lors d'une grossesse antérieure. Le transfert placentaire et la fixation des anticorps sur les cibles antigéniques érythrocytaires fœtales provoquent une hémolyse chez le fœtus et le nouveau-né. La maladie hémolytique qui en résulte peut présenter des formes cliniques variées allant d'une anémie avec hyperbilirubinémie néonatale modérées jusqu'à une atteinte fœtale majeure avec mort in utero par anasarque foetoplacentaire. La prise en charge des allo-immunisations fœto-maternelles a pour objectif de dépister et de surveiller l'allo-immunisation maternelle et d'en apprécier le retentissement fœtal ou néonatal afin de mettre en place le traitement le plus adapté.
