The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both statements regarding erythroblastosis foetalis and determine their correctness. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement I **Statement I:** Erythroblastosis foetalis occurs between Rh+ve mother and Rh-ve foetus after first pregnancy. - **Explanation:** Erythroblastosis foetalis is a condition that arises when an Rh-negative mother carries an Rh-positive fetus. This typically happens during subsequent pregnancies after the first one, where the mother has been sensitized to the Rh antigen from the first pregnancy (if the first child was Rh-positive). In the first pregnancy, the mother may not have developed antibodies against the Rh factor, but during delivery, some fetal blood can mix with maternal blood, leading to sensitization. Therefore, this statement is **incorrect** because erythroblastosis foetalis usually occurs after the first pregnancy, not during it. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement II **Statement II:** Erythroblastosis foetalis can be avoided by administering Rh antigens to mother immediately after delivery of the first child in all cases. - **Explanation:** To prevent erythroblastosis foetalis, Rh immunoglobulin (RhIg) is administered to Rh-negative mothers after the delivery of an Rh-positive child. This treatment prevents the mother from developing antibodies against Rh-positive blood cells. However, it is important to note that this prevention is effective only if administered promptly and does not guarantee prevention in all cases, especially if sensitization has already occurred. Therefore, this statement is **partially correct**, as it can prevent the condition but not in all cases. ### Conclusion Based on the analysis: - **Statement I is incorrect.** - **Statement II is partially correct but not applicable in all cases.** ### Final Answer Both statements are incorrect.
