Background: Many cases of severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia never have the underlying cause of the jaundice clearly identified. Thus they are said to have ‘idiopathic’ severe neonatal jaundice. However, finding the exact cause, if it is a genetic condition, can enable informed anticipatory guidance regarding future episodes of hemolysis, anemia, or bilirubin cholelithiasis. Objective: ‘Next ge...

introduction: jaundice is one of the hospitalization causes in term and preterm infants. considering to the side effects of jaundice, the present study aimed to investigate the prevalence and risk factors associated with jaundice in neonates hospitalized in government hospitals in ilam. materials and methods: in a case - control study, 384 neonates were enrolled. all neonates hospitalized in mu...

Background: The incidence of jaundice in first week of life is very common affecting about 55% of term and 82% of preterm neonates. There should be specific guidelines for the early prediction of neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia by different available techniques. This will not only decrease the social, financial and medical burden but will also help in minimising the extent of brain damage. The aim...

Background: Jaundice is one of the most common diseases of the infancy period. It could be caused by different factors, including infections such as the urinary tract. The present study aims to evaluate the prevalence and causes of urinary tract infection in newborns. Materials and Methods: The present work is a cross-sectional study conducted on 100 newborns with jaundice hospitalized at the ...
