Abstract: An increased amount of nucleated red blood cells in the cord blood of newborn babies could be a sign of ABO incompatibility, according to a study of 1,661 newborn babies. Nucleated blood cells are immature blood cells. Fortunately, ABO incompatibility is not usually a serious condition in most babies.
