Explanation

Erythroblastosis fetalis (hemolytic disease of the newborn) is the condition caused by Rh factor incompatibility between mother and fetus. When an Rh-negative mother carries an Rh-positive fetus, her immune system may produce antibodies that attack fetal red blood cells, causing severe anemia. Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder, erythropoiesis is RBC production, and myxedema is a thyroid condition.
