In this study, the prevalence of alloimmunization was similar to that in previous reports. Of all clinically significant antibodies, anti-D was most strongly associated with severe hemolysis, requiring phototherapy or exchange transfusions. Our data emphasize the importance of implementing an antenatal prophylactic RhIg program in Iceland in the near future.
