Popis:	Background: Nucleated RBCs are a common observation in the circulating blood of newborn. Number of nRBC in cord blood and perinatal asphyxia shows good correlation. Perinatal asphyxia ranks as the second most important cause of neonatal death after infections accounting for about 30% mortality worldwide. Objective of the present study was designed to find the relation between umbilical cord blood nRBC count and perinatal asphyxia.Methods: The present one-year prospective case control study was carried out. A total of 100 babies divided into two groups of 50 each as cases and controls. Term babies with perinatal asphyxia were enrolled as cases and term babies without perinatal asphyxia born during same period were included as control.Results: The distribution of cord blood pH in cases showed maximum babies (80%) with pH value of
