Background: 60% of term new-born have clinical jaundice, in the first week of life. ABO incompatibility is the most common cause of haemolytic disease of the new-born. So early intervention, at proper time, is mandatory to prevent these sequelae.Methods: This study was done at Dhiraj Hospital in Obstetrics and Gynecology Department. It was prospective observational study. 200 new-born with ABO incompatibility and 20 new-born with Rh incompatibility, causing clinically significant neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, were recruited for the clinical study noted.Results: The incidence of ABO incompatibility in our study was 13.79% and of Rh incompatibility was 1.37%. In ABO incompatibility group, 90% new born developed clinical jaundice. In treated group, out of 88 new born, 82 were from O-A and O-B incompatibility group. In ABO incompatibility DCT was positive in only 9%, whereas in Rh incompatibility it was 25%. In ABO incompatibility group, majority, 56% did not require treatment, whereas in Rh incompatibility group 65% required treatment. In ABO incompatibility group only 1% required exchange transfusion whereas in Rh incompatibility, it was required in 10%. In ABO incompatibility, all new-born treated well except, 0.5% developed kernicterus. In Rh incompatibility group, 10% new-born developed kernicterusConclusions: In ABO incompatibility, if jaundice develops, it remains in physiological limits. In presence of some aggravating conditions may present as pathological jaundice. It results in significant morbidity but no mortality. So prevention of aggravating factors is very important, in case of ABO incompatibility.
