| Abstract: | Adenosine Deaminase (ADA) levels were estimated in cord blood of 30 neonates born with birth weight less than or equal to 2.5 kg and 30 neonates born with birth weight greater than 2.5 kg. The mean ADA levels in low birth weight (LBW) group was found to be 6.94 U/L and in normal birth weight group the mean ADA levels were 14.37 U/L which was statistically significant. Therefore ADA may be useful in assessing CMI status in low birth weight infants. |
