Abstract : Evaluation of pro-oxidant antioxidant balance (PAB) in infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and their mother compared to normal cases. The study was conducted on patients include 54 neonates with infant RDS (sera pH < 7.2, Apgar score <5 and serious signs of RDS) and their mothers (n=54), and the controls include 40 full-term infants (the abnormal clinical sign were not seen until three days after delivery) and their mothers (n=40). The infants’ samples obtained from their cord blood and mothers' sample obtained from their venous blood immediately after delivery. The PAB assay carried out on the subject’s sera by the simple, rapid, and accurate PAB assay. The PAB values of preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome and their mothers, the full-term normal controls and their mothers were (34±21), (14±8.1), (183±29.3) and (174±18.9) respectively. Our obtained results have demonstrated that the PAB level is significantly higher in infants suffered from RDS than that of normal (p<0.01). The SPSS version 16 used for statistical analysis based on the One way ANOVA test. The p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. The PAB level of infants suffered from RDS and their mothers is significantly higher than those of control group with the normal full-term delivery.
