A case of Rh isoimmunization complicating triplet pregnancy is reported and the rarity of the combination is noted. The management of Rh immunized pregnancy is reviewed with particular reference to problems associated with plural pregnancy. The findings confirm earlier reports that fetal or placental influences as well as antibody titres determine the severity of erythroblastosis.
