ABSTRACT
Ninety-six newborn aged 0-7 days with serum bilirubin of more than 15 mg/dl were studied for the G6PD status using semiquantitative and the assay method. It was found that the result of the 2 methods corresponded. The prevalence of G6PD deficiency was 12.4 per cent (there were 11 boys and one girl). Among the G6PD deficiency and the normal group, there was no difference in the age of the patient, onset of jaundice, bilirubin level, hematocrit status and the reticulocyte count. The semiquantitative method is a reliable as the assay method.
