Neonatal jaundice and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency in Papua New Guinea.
Of 50 jaundiced neonatal patients studied at the Port Moresby General Hospital, 11 (22%) were found to be glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase-deficient. No apparent exogenous precipitating causes for the jaundice were noted. Serum bilirubin levels exceeded 20 mg/100 ml in seven of these glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase-deficient infants, and exchange transfusions were required for three subjects. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency must be considered in the differential diagnosis of neonatal jaundice in Papua New Guinea.

Survey of neonatal jaundice in Port Moresby.
Neonatal jaundice is a common problem in Port Moresby. A survey was carried out on 50 consecutive jaundiced neonates in an attempt to delineate the causes of severe neonatal jaundice (bilirubin 15 mg. % or more). ABO blood group incompatibility, G-6-P-D deficiency and infection accounted for 62% of cases while no cause could be found in 38% of cases. Low birth weight, multiple births, male sex, asphyxia, delivery occuring outside the hospital, and vacuum extraction were associated more commonly with jaundiced neonates than with the controls. There was a statistically significant association between the use of promethazine in the mother during and after labour and jaundice in the newborn. The association between the use of sulphonamides in the mother after delivery and neonatal jaundice was suggestive but not statistically significant.
