Summary Introduction

Hemolytic disease of new born occurs by the condition of ABO incompatibility. In the new born babies, jaundice and anemia are caused often by the rapid breakdown of red blood cells. This hemolysis occurs in infants by agglutinating the infant’s RBC by the mother’s antibody.

A man has type B blood and his wife has type A blood. They bring home a new baby from the hospital. On a visit to their doctor two weeks later they discover their baby has type O blood.
How would you explain this?
Why is a person with type AB blood able to receive a blood transfusion from a donor with any of the major blood types (A, B, AB, and O) but is able to donate blood only to another type AB individual?
In terms of antigens and antibodies, explain why O- is considered a universal donor and why AB+ is considered a universal recipient. Even so, why can’t whole blood O- be donated to a person of type AB+ blood?
