Background: In neonates, rhesus D alloimmunization despite anti-D immunoglobulin prophylaxis is rare and often unexplained. Rhesus D alloimmunization can lead to hemolytic disease of the newborn with anemia and unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. In past reports, transient congenital hyperinsulinism has been described as a rare complication of rhesus D alloimmunization.

- Hypovitaminosis D, defined as low levels of vitamin D in pregnant women and newborns, affects many globally and is linked to lower birth weight and placental development.
- In a study involving 2,082 women from the Odense Child Cohort, it was found that 16.7% of newborns had vitamin D deficiency and 41% had insufficiency, with factors like low maternal vitamin D supplementation and high BMI increasing risk.
- Higher levels of cord vitamin D were positively associated with birth weight and placental metrics, suggesting that addressing vitamin D levels could improve neonatal outcomes.
