Which condition causes jaundice and greening of teeth in infants surviving hemolytic disease?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Erythroblastosis fetalis
Erythroblastosis fetalis causes massive RBC lysis. Surviving infants develop hyperbilirubinemia, causing skin jaundice and intrinsic green/brown tooth staining from bilirubin incorporation into developing enamel and dentin. This is a key oral manifestation of hemolytic disease of the newborn.
