Abstract
Plasmapheresis was performed in order to clean the excess of antibodies in two patients in whom previous fetal loss had occurred, due to rhesus disease. A reduction in antibodies titles was obtained in both cases. Both patients were delivered by cesarean section after normal full term pregnancies. The babies were followed for two years and revealed no fetal abnormalities.
