Can newborn hemolytic disease recur?

Patient's question:

I have been experiencing dizziness recently, and I can't seem to eat properly either. My mental state isn't great either. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it's a blood-related issue. Could you please tell me if neonatal hemolytic disease can recur?

Doctor's answer:

Hemolytic disease of the newborn occurs when the blood type of the child is incompatible with that of the mother. Due to the presence of maternal antibodies in the child's body, hemolytic symptoms are caused. As the antibodies in the body increase, the condition gradually improves. Over time, the antibodies gradually disappear, so hemolytic disease will never recur. Therefore, there is no need to worry excessively. When necessary, consult a regular hospital for follow-up and specific advice.
