Abstract
Feto‐maternal transfusion was found to be significantly more common in ectopic pregnancy than in normal pregnancy of corresponding duration. Ectopic pregnancy, but never normal pregnancy in the first trimester, was sometimes associated with feto‐maternal transfusion sufficiently large to cause Rh‐imnuinisation. It is concluded that an ectopic pregnancy in a Rh‐negative non‐immunised woman is an indication for prophylaxis with anti‐D‐gammaglobulin, administered as early as possible after the operation.
