Detection of fetomaternal haemorrhage by an immunofluorescence technique.

A C McWilliam, S C Davies
PMCID: PMC499396  PMID: 3928702

Abstract

An inexpensive and simple technique for assessing fetomaternal bleeds in cases of Rh(D) incompatibility is described. The method is unlikely to replace the acid elution technique, but it may be of use in cases where results are in doubt owing to the presence of F cells of maternal origin.
