Background: Several studies using animal models have shown that oxidative stress during
pregnancy may play an important role in causing birth defects. Congenital anomalies affect
an estimated 270,000 newborns who die during the first 28 days of life every year from
different birth defects. Hence, at present many research works are going on to reduce the
infant mortality from congenital anomaly.[1] Objective: The objective was to measure the
oxidant and antioxidant level in the serum of newborn babies with the congenital anomaly …
