Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is a common concern in newborns, with ABO blood group incompatibility serving as a significant risk factor for severe jaundice. This case report outlines the successful management of a 2.5 kg female infant born to a primigravida mother with ABO incompatibility-induced hyperbilirubinemia. The neonate, born at 38.4 weeks via lower segment cesarean section, exhibited signs of jaundice at 91 hours of life, prompting screening and subsequent confirmation of serum bilirubin levels 26...

BACKGROUND: Neonatal jaundice is a significant contributor to illness and death in newborns, leading to frequent admissions to neonatal intensive care units. To better understand this issue, a study was conducted to identify the factors contributing to neonatal jaundice among newborns admitted to Dessie and Woldia comprehensive specialized hospitals in northeast Ethiopia. METHODS: The study took place from April 1 to May 30, 2022, using unmatched case-control design...

BACKGROUND: Neonatal jaundice is a prevalent illness affecting approximately 60%-80% of newborns. In severe cases, it can result in severe neurological distress. Approximately 1.1 million neonates are affected annually on a global scale, with the vast majority living in sub-Saharan Africa and southern Asia. It is common in newborns in the first week of life. This study aims to assess the magnitude and determinants of jaundice in newborns admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of public hospitals in the city of Dessie in northern Ethiopia...

Research on the prevalence and association of hyperbilirubinemia is controversial because of different cultures, demographics, and clinical conditions. The etiology of hyperbilirubinemia is affected by the environment and other factors in the newborn. The World Health Organization recommended a 1-day hospital stay after uncomplicated delivery, jaundice assessment before discharge, and screening on 3rd and 7th days after birth for hyperbilirubinemia. However, the implementation of these recommendations is difficult in China...

BACKGROUND: Intravenous immunoglobulin G (IVIG) is used to treat blood-type incompatibility hemolytic disease of newborns (BTHDN). Although IVIG's efficacy for treating BTHDN has been challenged, as an updated systematic review suggests, IVIG could significantly reduce exchange transfusions. We conducted a mail-in questionnaire survey to ascertain actual use of IVIG for BTHDN in Japan. METHODS: The survey, conducted in 2014, included infants born between January 1, 2009, and December 31, 2013...

OBJECTIVE: Early discharge puts neonates at risk of delayed detection of jaundice and resulting neurological injury. In these neonates, we can use cord bilirubin to make predictions. In this meta-analysis, we assessed the diagnostic accuracy of cord bilirubin in predicting the need for phototherapy (AAP-2004 or NICE-2010 charts). METHODS: We searched the databases of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, and Index Medicus for Southeast Asian Region. We included all observational studies that assessed the diagnostic accuracy of cord bilirubin...

The aim of this study was to define risk factors for jaundice and anemia in newborns with a positive direct antiglobulin test (DAT) and/or with an incompatible crossmatch due to ABO incompatibility between mother and newborn. ABO incompatibility has become a more significant cause of hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn since the introduction of effective anti-D prophylaxis. The condition is common and, if clinically significant at all, causes only mild jaundice, which can be treated with phototherapy (PT)...

This case report describes a novel mutation of the SPTB gene as a potential pathogenic cause of spherocytosis. A 3-week-old male presented with clinical and laboratory signs consistent with hemolytic spherocytosis, including jaundice, hyperbilirubinemia, anemia, reticulocytosis, negative Coombs test, no ABO or Rh incompatibility, and a peripheral blood smear notable for numerous spherocytes. His laboratory work demonstrated persistent anemia despite daily folate prompting next-generation sequencing which revealed a novel mutation in the SPTB gene resulting in a nonfunctioning protein product...

Neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAIT) is a condition in which maternal IgG antibodies are directed against fetal platelets and cross the placenta, destroying fetal thrombocytes. It is typically caused by maternal alloimmunization to human leukocyte antigens (HLA). ABO incompatibility, on the other hand, is a rare cause of NAIT due to the variable expression of ABO antigens on platelets. Here, we present the case of a first-time mother (O+) who delivered a 37-week 0-day gestation newborn (B+) that was anemic and jaundiced with critically high total bilirubin levels...

Although liver re-transplantation is the only therapeutic option for acute and chronic graft failure, few studies have addressed the use of ABO-incompatible living donors in the emergency setting. Here, based on our experience, we report a successful case of emergency, ABO-incompatible, adult-to-adult, living donor liver re-transplantation (LDLT) for late graft failure from chronic rejection complicated by pneumonia-related sepsis. A fifty-five-year-old man had undergone LDLT for hepatocellular carcinoma accompanied by hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related cirrhosis in 30 September 2013...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Haemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) is an immune haemolytic anaemia from maternal alloantibodies. Rh immunoglobulin (RhIg) prophylaxis can prevent alloimmunization to the D antigen. However, RhIg is not universally available in Uganda. ABO incompatibility also causes HDN. We determined the prevalence of HDN among newborn infants with jaundice in Uganda. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a prospective cross-sectional study at Kawempe National Referral Hospital, Kampala, Uganda...

BACKGROUND: Neonatal jaundice is a common condition characterized by a yellowish discoloration of the skin, conjunctiva, and sclera caused by elevated serum or plasma bilirubin levels during the newborn period. The condition is usually not dangerous, but it can progress to severe hyperbilirubinemia, which can lead to acute bilirubin encephalopathy and kernicterus, a bilirubin-induced neurological damage. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the pooled prevalence of neonatal jaundice and its determinants in Ethiopia...

BACKGROUND: ABO blood group incompatibility, neonatal sepsis, G-6-PD deficiency, thyroid dysfunction, and hereditary spherocytosis are all probable causes of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. However, the etiology of some hyperbilirubinemia is extremely complicated, which may be caused by multiple factors, resulting in severe jaundice. We report a case of severe jaundice due to three causes, showing the significance for the investigation of the etiology of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.

Next to A and B antigens, agglutinogen D exhibits the highest immunogenicity. Following the transfusion of D-positive red blood cells (RBCs), almost 80% of D-negative recipients develop anti-D antibodies (Abs). Subsequently, anti-D immunization further promotes the synthesis of Abs towards other blood group antigens in or outside the Rh system. The D antigen is also involved in 95% of cases of hemolytic disease of the newborn. Transfusions, hemotherapy, grafts, and obstetric history (abortions, ectopic pregnancy, births) are all risk factors for Rh isoimmunization...

BACKGROUND: Alloimmune hemolytic disease of the newborn (AIHDN) results in hemolysis, anemia, hyperbilirubinemia with the potential for brain damage. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) has been investigated as an alternative low-risk procedure for the treatment of AIHDN in addition to traditional treatment methods such as phototherapy and exchange transfusion (ET). AIM: To evaluate the effectiveness of IVIG therapy in decreasing ET needs based on risk factors and clinical outcomes...
