HEMATOLOGY--CONCLUSION
Abstract
The following is the entire content of the translated document: The treatment of red corpuscles from new-borns with papain reveals, by Cooms technique, the anti-A or anti-B antibodies fixed in vitro or in vivo during the hemolytic disease of the new-born connected to an immunization to the A and B factors. The test proposed allows a simple and rapid diagnosis for this hemolytic disease even before the appearance of jaundice. It will allow the medical preventative treatment of the new-born by therapy whose efficiency we demonstrated earlier. Exsanguino-transfusions thus can perhaps be avoided, since the indirect bilirubin titer does not reach a menacing amount in most cases. Work will continue on finding the exact mechanism of the papain action.
