In order to diagnose hemolytic disease of the newborn it is necessary to determine ABO/Rh blood group, direct antiglobulin test and indirect antiglobulin test in newborns as well as ABO/Rh and indirect antiglobulin test in their mothers due to a possible incompatibility between the blood types of the mother and her baby. The study was aimed at reviewing and analyzing the results of screening of the newborns and pregnant women on the territory of South Backa District during 2011, as well as at estimating the necessity to give blood transfusion to the newborns in the same period.
