Erythroblastosis fetalis can result from a blood type incompatibility (such as Rh incompatibility) between mother and fetus, and cause anemia or hemolysis of red cells in the fetus.

Erythroblastosis fetalis can be prevented by giving an Rh-negative mother a gamma globulin solution called RhoGAM whenever there is a possibility that she is developing antibodies to her baby's blood.
