Résumé
We present an extremely rare case of hyperbilirubinemia with rapid progression leading to bilirubin encephalopathy in term neonate. Despite early recognition and intervention, death occurred as a total serum bilirubin reached 25 mg/dl. It was a case of Coomb’s negative microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia in a newborn period which is autosomal recessive inheritance i.e. Upshaw-Schulman Syndrome. (Congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura) characterised by numerous schistocytes on peripheral blood smear, thrombocytopenia , increased reticulocyte count, increased bilirubin and LDH level. This rare disease is often misdiagnosed especially in newborn baby. So we present this case not only for its variety but also for to create more awareness among pathologist and paediatrician as treatment protocol entirely differ.
