ABO Incompatibility

ABO incompatibility is one of the diseases which can cause jaundice.

ABO incompatibility happens when a mother's blood type is O, and her baby's blood type is A or B. The mother's immune system may react and make antibodies against her baby's red blood cells. The consequences and treatment are similar to Rhesus disease [1].
