Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia secondary to combined anti e and anti C isoimmunisation: a literature review.
A term male infant was admitted at 48 h of postnatal life to the neonatal unit for jaundice. The investigation showed total serum bilirubin (TSB) of 17.1 mg/dl, haemoglobin of 11 g/dl, reticulocyte count of 9.5% and peripheral smear was suggestive of macrocytic, normochromic red blood cell (RBC) with target cells and multiple spherocytes with occasional nucleated RBC. The infant's blood group was B positive. Direct antiglobulin test was strongly positive by gel method (3+). Mother's blood group was B positive and indirect antiglobulin test was positive when tested postnatally. Extended minor blood grouping and cross matching showed this as a case of combined anti e and anti C antibodies isoimmunisation. Infant was treated with phototherapy for 72 h and was shifted to mother side. Infant was serially monitored with TSB level every sixth hourly and American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) phototherapy charts were followed to see for rebound hyperbilirubinemia. The neonate was discharged and there was no readmission for hyperbilirubinemia. It is very rare and we report the third case of its type till date.
