title: [Hemocytometric and morphologic studies of red cells in cord blood].
abstract: Authors present red cell indexes of 120 newborns with normal haemoglobin pattern. In the newborn there is an increase of the red cell mass with regard to the infancy and adult life. The lower limit of normality in our environment for MCV is 99.69 fl. The Hb F concentration is 74.70 +/- 10.69%. The differential aspects of the red blood cells in the umbilical cord blood are commented. The influence of several biological variables on the newborn's red cell indexes are described.
