| Abstract |
|
Only IgG anti-A, or Anti-B cross the placenta and are responsible for the occurrence of ABO
hemolytic disease of newbom(HDN). We have conducted the role of IgG anti-A or anti-B in mothers
to occurrence and severity of the disease with were related to the level of antibodies in pathogenesis
of ABO-HDN.
This report presents the relation between the degree of bilirubin, hemoglobin concentration in
ABO-HDN and IgG anti-A, or anti-B in their mother. Studied group were 29 cases of ABO-HDN who
had positive direct antiglobulin test and positive IgG anti-A, or anti-B in their mother.
The following results were obtained:
1) There were 220 neonates with hyperbilirubinemia among a series of 1618 total live births from
June 1986 to May 1987 at KHUH. Studied group were 13.2% in 220 cases of hyperbilirubinemia of
newborn.
2) There were 38 cases of ABO-HDN with negative direct antiglobulin test, 29 cases of ABO-HDN
with positive direct antiglobulin test and IgG anti-A or B in mother, respectively.
3) The ratio of AO-HDN and BO-HDN was 1.4:1.
4) There were 2 cases of antibody titers below 1:512, 4 cases were >=1:512,17 cases were >=1:1024 and
6 cases were >=1:2048, respectively.
5) According to the neonatal bilirubin concentration and maternal antibody titers, mean and
standard deviation of bilirubin concentration were 13.4 ± 0.6 mg/dl in group of below 1:512 titer, 14.
2±1.4 mg/dl in group of >=1:512 titer, 16.4±2.2 mg/dl in group of >=1:1024 and 19.5±2.3 mg/dl in group
of >=1:2048 titer. There were significant correlation between the degree of hyperbilirubinemia and
maternal IgG antibody.
6) There were no relation between degree of positive direct antiglobulin test, anemia and maternal
IgG antibody. |
