Rhesus disease doesn't harm the mother, but it can cause the baby to become anaemic and develop jaundice.reatment for rhesus disease after delivery can include a light treatment called phototherapy, blood transfusions, and an injection of a solution of antibodies (intravenous immunoglobulin) to prevent red blood cells being destroyed. If rhesus disease is left untreated, severe cases can lead to stillbirth.
