haemolytic disease of newborn (medicine)


haemolytic disease of newborn -->
erythroblastosis foetalis
<haematology> A condition which develops in the foetus due to an incompatibility between the mother's blood type (RH factor) and the baby's. Maternal antibodies, which enter the foetal circulation during delivery attack the baby's red blood cells leading to haemolysis (rupture of the cells).

Symptoms include an infant with an enlarged liver and spleen, swelling, jaundice and anaemia.

General fertility rate


A refined measure of fertility in a population; the numerator is the number of live births in a year, the denominator is the number of females of child-bearing age, usually defined as ages 15-44 (but increasingly recognised as extending to age 49).
