A member asked:

Can receiving the rhogam shot 4 weeks ago today cause a positive antibody screen??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Rhogam shots: "Rhogam" is immune globulin given to Rh negative women after a pregnancy. The Rhogam shot is in fact Rh positive antibodies, and if the "antibody screen" is done soon after a Rhogam , a "positive antibody screen" will result. This does not mean the individual is in fact "Rh positive", and is only the result of the Rhogam shot.
