The course of hemolytic disease is generally more severe in twin than in single-born infants, because of prematurity prevailing in twin births and resulting prolonged hospitalization.

The course of hemolytic disease in double conflict (ABO and Rh) does not appear to be milder than in single Rh incompatibility. In one case it was even found to cause more extensive damage to one fetus, as compared to the other with simple Rh conflict.
