CDC - For Release Monday, February 10, 2003 CDC Funds Infant Brain Damage Prevention Initiatives The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is providing approximately $1.3 million in funding over the next three years for research and the prevention of kernicterus, a serious but preventable type of brain damage in infants that can lead to cerebral palsy, hearing loss and complications with vision and teeth. Recipients are the Pennsylvania Hospital in collaboration with Parents of Infants and Children with Kernicterus (PICK) and Saint Peter's University Hospital, UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. Kernicterus is caused by severe and untreated jaundice. While jaundice is very common in newborn infants, any baby with severe jaundice that is not managed and treated in a timely manner is at risk for kernicterus. However, not every baby with yellow skin will have brain damage because treatment is effective when appropriately administered. The CDC funding will enable the grantees to develop a kernicterus tracking system and provide resources for a national prevention campaign that will include educational programs to improve the recognition of other risk factors by health care providers and raise awareness among expecting parents. Since kernicterus has not been a reportable condition in the United States, a population-based tracking system will help estimate prevalence, which in turn will lead to increased awareness. Dr. Jos F. Cordero, director of the CDC National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD), said early detection is critical to the prevention of the irreversible effects of kernicterus. "Infants discharged less than 48 hours after delivery should be examined by a health care provider within the following two to three days for a routine follow-up and a jaundice assessment," he said. "It is important that health care providers and expectant parents understand the risks of jaundice if not treated in a timely manner."

Prevention Rh incompatibility Definition: Rh incompatibility is a condition which develops when there is a difference in Rh blood type between that of the pregnant mother (Rh negative) and that of the fetus (Rh positive). Alternative Names: Kernicterus; Rh-induced hemolytic disease of the newborn; Hydrops fetalis Causes, incidence, and risk factors: During pregnancy, red blood cells from the fetus can get into the mother's bloodstream as she nourishes her child through the placenta. If the mother is Rh negative, her system cannot tolerate the presence of Rh positive red blood cells. In such cases, the mother's immune system treats the Rh positive fetal cells as if they were a foreign substance and makes antibodies against the fetal blood cells. These anti-Rh antibodies may cross the placenta into the fetus, where they destroy the fetus' circulating red blood cells. First-born infants are often not affected (unless the mother has had previous miscarriages/abortions, which could have sensitized her system) as it takes time for the mother to develop antibodies against the fetal blood. However, second children who are also Rh-positive may be harmed. Rh incompatibility can cause symptoms ranging from very mild to fatal. In its mildest form, Rh incompatibility causes hemolysis (destruction of the red blood cells) with the release of free
