KROK 1 2007 – Question 151 · KROK (Medicine) · Physiology

A woman with III (B), Rh− blood group born a child with II (A) blood group. The child is diagnosed with hemolytic disease of newborn as a result of rhesus incompatibility. What blood group is the child’s father likely to have?

  1. A. I (0), Rh+
  2. B. III (B), Rh+
  3. C. II (A), Rh−
  4. D. II (A), Rh+
  5. E. I (0), Rh−
Hint

The child's blood-group antigen must have come from the father because the mother lacks it, and the disease itself tells you which Rh status the child inherited.
