ABSTRACT

To determine the prevalence of Rh and ABO incompatibility in jaundiced neonates. This hospital based descriptive study was conducted in Pediatrics Unit, Lady Reading Hospital Peshawar. A total of 200 neonates with clinically diagnosed jaundice were included in the study. Out of 200 neonates 70% were male and 30%female. Majority of neonates 99.5% age was ranged from 0-10 days while only 0.5% neonate was 13 days. Out of 200 neonates, the frequency of ABO-incompatibility and Rh-incompatibility in jaundiced neonates in this study was 22.5% and 12.5% respectively. Out of the remaining 65.5% cases physiological jaundice was diagnosed in 40.5% neonates, prematurity in 15% neonates and G6PD in 9.5% neonates. Among 22.5% cases of ABO incompatibility there were 16.5% males and 6% females. Majority 15% presented on 1[st] day of life, followed by 3% on 2[nd] and 3[rd] day of life respectively, 1% on 4[th] day, 0.5% on 5[th] day of life. Out of 200 neonates presented with jaundice, prevalence of ABO-incompatibility was found to be 22.5% followed by Rh-incompatibility 12.5%

ABSTRACT

La etiopatogenia de la enfermedad hemolítica del recién nacido está basada en la incompatibilidad de grupo sanguíneo entre la madre y el recién nacido. Los neonatos con enfermedad hemolítica por incompatibilidad ABO usualmente tienen madres de grupo O porque la IgG anti-A y anti-B puede atravesar la placenta y sensibilizar los eritrocitos neonatales. Otros anticuerpos además de los ABO han sido reportados como causa de enfermedad hemolítica del recién nacido, ejemplo: anti-D, anti-C, anti-K, anti-Jk, anti-Fy, anti-S, etc. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 33 años de edad, que en el segundo trimestre de su segunda gestación presentó una hemorragia que motivó la transfusión de una unidad de concentrado de eritrocitos. No se reportó reacción transfusional. El producto de dicha gestación fue un neonato masculino de 2,5 Kg de peso y apgar 6-8 que presentó íctero a las 24 horas después del parto. El fenotipaje ABO de los eritrocitos maternos y del neonato arrojó que la madre era de grupo O y el neonato de grupo B. La prueba de Coombs directa fue positiva 2+ en el neonato y la prueba de Coombs indirecta resultó positiva 3+ en la madre. Dos aloanticuerpos fueron detectados en el suero materno como causa del íctero neonatal, un anti-A y un anti-Jk b. Los eritrocitos maternos fueron fenotipados como Jk b negativos. El tratamiento con fototerapia al neonato se inició a las 40 horas de edad y se prolongó hasta los 10 días de nacido. Una transfusión simple de concentrado de eritrocitos fenotipados fue administrada al neonato a los 8 días de edad.

ABSTRACT

Thirty cases of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia of varying etiology, severity and duration; and twenty six normal healthy newborns were subjected to various tests of cellular and humoral immunity. The results revealed a significant depression of all the parameters of cellular immunity in neonatal hyperbilirubinemia of greater than or equal to 10 mg/dl as compared to the control values. The depression of immunological profile in these newborns was seen to be more pronounced with increasing duration and severity of jaundice. A limited assessment of the humoral immunity by the B cell count and serum immunoglobulin IgG levels, however, showed no significant difference from the control.
