Hemolytic Disease of Newborn due to ABO Incompatibility between O Blood Group Mother and A Blood Group Neonate: Do we need to screen ABO blood group antibody in ante-natal care? - Abstract
Abstract ABO incompatibility between O blood group mother and non-O blood group neonate is common. It rarely causes anemia and hyperbilirubinemia in neonate, requiring invasive management. We reported a case of incompatibility in a O blood group primigravid mother and A blood group neonate; the neonate had severe jaundice 12 hour after elective cesarean section. She was managed with phototherapy. It highlighted the need for screening antibodies to both ABO and Rh group in antenatal care and awareness among health care personnel but also in general public.
