Hi all,
Just wondering if any of you have experience with babies who come up
with a poistive Direct Coombs test?
A cord blood sample from a newborn showed baby was A pos with anti-A
antibodies - they would have been passively transferred from the
O neg mum.
It's pretty likely therefore to be an ABO incompatibility which seems to
be a minor issue.
Have done a few bilirubin levels which are all way under the range for
even phototherapy (58 hours was 215), but the GP involved is being
really precious about it all - as if it's likely the baby will suddenly
set up major problems.
Obviously baby is feeding well, alert, only mildly jaundiced by
observation, well and truly cleared his mec...
Any comments??
Sue
