Clinical manifestations of Rh hemolytic disease are generally more severe and progress rapidly, while most cases of ABO hemolytic disease have milder clinical manifestations. Rh hemolytic disease typically does not occur in the first pregnancy, whereas ABO hemolytic disease can occur in the first pregnancy.
