Risemberg et all suggested that "the risk to infants with ABO incompatibility and cord blood bilirubin levels greater than 68 .tmol/l (4 mg/100 ml) is so consistent that frequent re-evaluation is mandatory." As this was not our impression we studied cord blood bilirubin concentrations in 2117 consecutive births at Hope Hospital. Methods and results
Protein-C and Protein-S deficiency states are responsible for 3-5% (Protein-C) and 2-3% (Protein-S) of patients with venous thrombosis. Some cases of arterial thrombosis have been reported. It occurs twice as often in female as in males. A 50 years old lady presented with acute severe pain in the left upper limb for 2 days. On investigation she was diagnosed as a case of bracheal artery thrombosis with Protein-C & Protein-S deficiency. Bracheal thromboembolectomy was done and discharge her with life long warfarin therapy. In one year follow up the patient had no untoward event and INR done every month and warfarin is adjusted.
