Περίληψη:
The histological specimens of the pancreas of 33 newborn jaundiced infants were examined and compared to 35 controls. In 4 babies the jaundice was due to Rhesus incompatibility, in 8 to ABO incompatibility, in 13 to G-6-PD deficiency and in 8 the etiology of jaundice could not be ascertained. The Langerhans’ islets were found to be hyperplastic not only in the 4 infants, whose severe jaundice was due to Rhesus incompatibility, but, to a lesser degree, in the majority of the other jaundiced infants’ pancreas as well. The surface of the Langer-hans’ islets was well correlated with the highest bilirubin level in all groups of jaundiced infants. © 1973 S. Karger AG, Basel.
