Normal values for haemoglobin concentration, packed cell volume, red blood cell counts and mean cell volume were serially electronically determined in a cohort of 99 healthy, normal fullterm Nigerian babies and infants from age 1 day-6 months. Mean values of haemoglobin concentration, packed cell volume and red blood cell counts were lower at all ages than those established for caucasian infants at the corresponding ages although the pattern was similar in both races. Infant sex, method of delivery and the presence of haemoglobin S in the heterozygous form had no influence on the values of the red cell indices. Based on this study, it is recommended that separate levels of these haematological indices for the black neonates and infants should be adopted.
对99名年龄从1天至6个月的健康、正常足月尼日利亚婴儿和幼儿进行了队列研究,通过电子方式连续测定血红蛋白浓度、红细胞压积、红细胞计数和平均红细胞体积的正常值。尽管两个种族的模式相似,但在所有年龄段,血红蛋白浓度、红细胞压积和红细胞计数的平均值均低于相应年龄段的白种人婴儿。婴儿性别、分娩方式以及杂合形式血红蛋白S的存在对红细胞指数的值没有影响。基于这项研究,建议采用针对黑人新生儿和婴儿的这些血液学指标的单独水平。
