When anti B antibodies are present in the plasma and A antigens on the surface of RBCs of a person, her blood group can be:
1. | A and AB | 2. | Only A |
3. | Only B | 4. | O |
A person has type A antigen on RBC and anti-B antibodies in plasma. He can receive blood from a person with blood group:
1. | A and O | 2. | AB, A, B and O |
3. | B and O | 4. | Only O |
To prevent eryhtroblastosis fetalis in future pregnancies:
1. | Anti-Rh Immunoglobulins must be given to Rh –ve mothers at the time of each delivery |
2. | Anti-Rh Immunoglobulins must be given to new born at the time of each delivery |
3. | Rh Antigens must be given to new born at the time of each delivery |
4. | Anti Antigens must be given to Rh –ve mothers at the time of each delivery |
Identify the incorrect statement regarding the hemolytic disease of the newborn:
1. | The fetus is Rh positive, and the mother is Rh negative. |
2. | The mother's immune system has made antibodies against the Rh factor present on the red blood cells of the previous baby. |
3. | The baby is born with an abnormally high number of red blood cells. |
4. | This can be prevented if the Rh negative mother has been given RhoGAM (antibodies). |
I: | The baby is Rh positive and the mother is Rh negative. |
II: | The mother's immune system has made antibodies against the Rh factor present on the red blood cells of the previous baby. |
III: | Anaemia and jaundice in a baby are rare. |
IV: | There is no mechanism to prevent its occurrence. |
Assertion (A): | Erythroblastosis fetalis occurs when an Rh-negative mother carries an Rh-positive fetus. |
Reason (R): | The mother's immune system may produce antibodies against the Rh factor, which can cross the placenta and attack the fetal red blood cells. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
An Rh + woman is pregnant with an Rh- fetus. The consequences can be:
1. | There is usually no risk during the first pregnancy, but it can harm the fetus during a subsequent pregnancy if the mother is not treated. |
2. | It always poses a serious risk to the fetus, even in the first pregnancy. |
3. | Only in rare cases is there a risk to the fetus during the first pregnancy. |
4. | There is no risk to the fetus when a woman who is Rh+ carries an Rh- fetus. |
