In 50 jaundiced babies who were ABO-incompatible it was found that the mean serum bilirubin level was significantly higher in outpatients than inpatients; this difference was probably due to the delay in recognizing jaundice among the outpatients and, possibly also to the slightly higher number of G-6-PD deficient babies in the same group, and their greater exposure to icterogenic agents. The results of serological studies suggest that ABO-incompatibility was responsible for neonatal jaundice in only 36% of these babies. Among the inpatients the need for exchange blood transfusion was more common in babies of mothers with immune anti-A or anti-B titres of 1:64 or more ( P &lt; 0.001). Neonates at risk of ABO-haemolytic disease can be identified at birth by direct positive Coombs test and detection of immune anti-A or anti-B antibodies in the mother's serum.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/004947559102100108","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,12]],"date-time":"2017-01-12T20:17:33Z","timestamp":1484252253000},"page":"19-22","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Determinants of Severity of Neonatal Hyperbilirubinaemia in ABO Incompatibility in Nigeria"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"J A","family":"Owa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatrics & Child Health, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M A","family":"Durosinmi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Haematology, Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex, Ile-Ife, Nigeria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A O","family":"Alabi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Haematology, Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex, Ile-Ife, Nigeria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1991,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-004947559102100108","first-page":"551","volume-title":"Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (Monographs in Neonatology)","author":"Odell GB","year":"1980","edition":"1"},{"key":"bibr2-004947559102100108","first-page":"508","volume-title":"Practical haematology","author":"Worlledge SM","year":"1975","edition":"5"},{"key":"bibr3-004947559102100108","first-page":"62","volume":"2","author":"Ransome-Kuti O","year":"1972","journal-title":"Nig Med J"},{"key":"bibr4-004947559102100108","first-page":"1","volume":"3","author":"Effiong CE","year":"1976","journal-title":"Nig J Paediatr"},{"key":"bibr5-004947559102100108","first-page":"12","volume":"5","author":"Coulter JBS","year":"1978","journal-title":"Nig J Paediatr"},{"key":"bibr6-004947559102100108","first-page":"11","volume":"6","author":"Owa JA","year":"1987","journal-title":"West Afr J Med"},{"key":"bibr7-004947559102100108","first-page":"1","volume":"1","author":"Nkrumah FK","year":"1982","journal-title":"West Afr J Med"},{"key":"bibr8-004947559102100108","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00034983.1974.11686948"},{"key":"bibr9-004947559102100108","first-page":"196","volume":"3","author":"Chintu C","year":"1981","journal-title":"Postgrad Doc"},{"key":"bibr10-004947559102100108","first-page":"666","volume-title":"Blood transfusion in clinical medicine","author":"Mollison PL","year":"1979","edition":"6"},{"key":"bibr11-004947559102100108","unstructured":"Owa JA.
