Abstract Background: Thalassemia is commonest hereditary anemia, Iraq is among countries with highest prevalence of major thalassemia, thalassemia patients have poor growth and delayed maturation mainly due to iron overload but zinc deficiency also has been suggested as a contributing factor. Aim of the study : To determine serum zinc level of patients with thalassemia and their healthy sibling and to determine whether the possible deficiency is influencing by the disease itself or by other factors. Patients and Methods: A case-control study was carried out from February 2016 to august 2016 in Al-Zahraa teaching hospital for maternity and children in Al-Najaf province . the study included 80 patients with thalassemia their ages range from 5-15 years. Control group was 50 of apparently healthy children without acute or chronic diseases, their ages range from 5-15 years , control group selected and matched with disease group regarding sex & age. For each patient & control group 3ml of blood was taken at morning , serum zinc measured by spectrophotometer and the data analysis don by SPSS version 22, 2014. Results: mean serum zinc levels were 56.2±16.1,59.5±17.7& 60±14.6 μg/dL in Transfusion dependent, non-dependent and normal control respectively with no statistical differences, also the study show no significant relationship between serum zinc level and different variables such as gender, age, ferritin level &duration of oral chelation therapy (p>0.05) while there is significant relationship between serum zinc level and body mass index(p<0.05). Conclusion:Zinc deficiency prevalent in thalassemia & non thalassemia children in Al-Najaf province, suggesting that serum Zn levels are possibly more influenced by familial and environmental factors rather than by thalassemia per se or its treatment.

ABSTRACT Background: jaundice is the commonest medical condition affecting infants in first week of life. the cause is bilirubin deposition in the skin. jaundice in newborn is a result of increased RBC destruction and decreased bilirubin elimination. Aim of study: The aim of this study is prescribe the frequency and severity of Rh and ABO incompatibility in neonates admitted to Pediatrics & Neonatology unit, al-Zahraa teaching Hospital, Najaf, Iraq. Patients and methods: This descriptive study done in neonatal intensive care unit, in al- Zahraa teaching hospital ,Najaf ,Iraq. 300 neonate admitted to neonatal unit from period of first of May 2014 to august 2014 with jaundice were included in the study. Results: from 300 neonate with jaundice , 144( 48%) were female and 156( 52% ) male , the frequency of ABO , combined ABO and RH and RH incompatibility in neonates with jaundice was 99(33%), 36(12%), 51 ( 17%) respectively . 15(22.7%) of neonate with ABO and 21( 31.8%) with RH incompatibility treated with exchange transfusion. While 4 (1.3 %) and 10 (3.3 %) of patient with ABO and RH incompatibility respectively developed sign of kernicterus on discharge. Conclusion: out of 300 neonate presented with jaundice , most common hemolytic cause was ABO-incompatibility 99( 33%), followed by Rh –incompatibility 51(17%), Rh –incompatibility is more severe than ABO , 21(31.8%) of patients with RH incompatibility treated with exchange transfusion and 10(3.3%) of them discharge with sign of kernicterus.
