Understand the symptoms and treatment methods of neonatal hemolytic disease

Neonatal physiological jaundice is usually mild, primarily manifesting on the face and neck, and may spread to the trunk. The skin and eyes may turn yellow. Symptoms typically appear 2 to 3 days after birth and usually subside within 5 to 6 days. Severe physiological jaundice may last longer, but generally does not exceed a week. The color of jaundice can range from light yellow to darker shades, but the skin remains rosy. Symptoms usually do not appear in the distal parts of the arms and legs.

During the neonatal examination, methods to confirm the presence of hemolytic disease include ABO hemolytic test, ultrasound examination, amniotic fluid bilirubin measurement, and amniotic fluid blood substance measurement.

Neonatal jaundice is usually caused by conditions such as hemolytic jaundice and breast milk jaundice, with main symptoms including yellowing of the skin, sclera, and urine. If the baby is crying, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.

If neonatal sepsis is left untreated, it can greatly disrupt the child’s life. Treatment should be based on blood culture results and bacterial sensitivity tests, using antibiotics. Typically, a combination of a penicillin and an aminoglycoside antibiotic is chosen as the first-line medication. Since the patient has jaundice, blue light therapy should be administered. At the same time, attention should be paid to maintaining warmth, hydration and electrolyte balance, promptly correcting acidosis and dehydration, and treating local infection sites such as the umbilicus and skin.

Neonatal hemolytic disease is an autoimmune hemolytic disease caused by blood type incompatibility between mother and child.

After birth, most babies will develop physiological jaundice within 5-7 days, which is usually mild and resolves naturally within two weeks. However, some babies may have more severe jaundice that requires timely treatment to prevent potential liver function issues. It is recommended to check the baby’s liver function; if there are no abnormalities, a simple course of oral jaundice-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, hospitalization for blue light therapy may be necessary.

Neonatal jaundice refers to the yellowing of the skin, eyes, and urine in newborns, typically appearing 2-3 days after birth, reaching its peak around the fifth day, and gradually fading within two weeks. Jaundice can be physiological or pathological, requiring timely diagnosis and treatment.
