Newborn with multiple anomalies as a result of prenatal activation of the immune system-case report

Objectives: Beside genetic background, congenital anomalies can be also influenced by micro environmental changes as a maternal infection. Maternal immune system activation may alter the cytokine network and influence abnormal embryogenesis that leads to congenital anomalies (1). Aim: The aim is to present the immune system activation in newborn with congenital anomalies and in their mother. Material and Methods: Red and white blood cell count, hemoglobin and hematocrit level, peripheral blood smear, nitro-blue-tetrasolium test (NBT), serum immunoglobulin level, serum nitric oxide (NO) level, TORCH organisms det…
