Can the kell blood system be the cause of a hemolytic transfusion reaction or hemolytic disease of the newborn?
Yes, although ABO and Rh are the main causes of haemolytic transfusion reactions (HTR's), if a person with an anti-K antibody is transfused with red blood cells which have a kell antigen on their surface, it has been known to cause delayed HTR's through the supression of erythropoiesis. As for haemolytic disease of the newborn, it is thought that anti-K can cause HDN vie anaemia, not jaundice.
Is there any problem to child if mother is AB plus ve and father is O plus plus ve?
Not a problem concerning Haemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN), the mum would have to be rh negative for that to be a potential issue.
What conditions are present when hemolytic disease of the newborn occurs?
Hemolytic disease of the newborn is known as erythroblastosis fetalis
Respiratory in a newborn?
hyaline membrane disease
Why does haemolytic disease of the newborn not occur in rhesus positive mothers with a rhesus negative baby?
HDN only occurs in rhesus negative women who have been sensitized by positive blood. Rhesus positive mother can have a rhesus negative baby. In rhesus positive group, they have the antigen Rh. When this antigen from baby enters mother's blood circulation, because of inutero bleed in pregnancy; mother's blood cells will react to the foreign antigen and produce antibodies which are harmful to the baby's blood cells when they cross the placenta and enter baby's blood stream. These antibodies will break baby's blood cells down causing haemolytic disease. Whereas in rhesus positive mother with negative baby, if baby's blood enters mother's circultaion it will not produce any antibodies as there are no antigens in Rh negative blood. And if mother's blood mixes with baby's blood in the womb, baby will not have the ability to produce antibodies as their immune system is not developed. So there is no chance for haemolytic disease.
Is it true Rh incompatibility between a sensitized Rh woman and an Rh- fetus can cause hemolytic disease of the newborn?

This is a condition in which there is abnormal destruction of the red blood cells of the baby. It can be due to blood group incompatibility between mother and baby or due to diseases of red blood cells in the baby.
