We did not analyze the maternal antibody titer or elusion test, and this was a limitation of the stud...
متن کاملThe effect of clofibrate with phototherapy in late pre-term newborns with non-hemolytic jaundice.
BACKGROUND Despite an understanding of the enzymatic pathways leading to bilirubin production and degradation, very few pharmacologic interventions are utilized and the mainstay of treatment remains phototherapy. AIMS To evaluate the efficacy of clofibrate in reducing total serum bilirubin levels in late pre-term neonates with non-hemolytic jaundice. DESIGN AND SETTING Double-blind, placebo...
