Light therapy, also called phototherapy, exposes infants with jaundice [5], a yellowing of the skin and eyes, to artificial or natural light to break down the buildup of bilirubin pigment in the blood. Bilirubin is an orange to red pigment produced when red blood cells break down, which causes infants to turn into a yellowish color. Small amounts of bilirubin in the blood are normal, but when t...
A 6-week-old breast-fed infant presented with vomiting, jaundice, and irritability. Haemorrhage occurred after lumbar puncture, and a coagulation abnormality which responded to vitamin K was found. It would seem prudent to estimate the prothrombin time before invasive procedures in breast-fed infants of this age, or to give vitamin K to such infants when doubt exists about previous vitamin K ad...
Group B b-hemolytic streptococcus (GBS) sepsis is a serious bacterial infection in neonates, with significant morbidity and mortality. We report here a neonate with late onset GBS infection manifesting as a urinary tract infection (UTI) in an infant presenting with prolonged neonatal jaundice. The pathogenesis of this late onset is postulated.
In the newborn period, unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia (UHB) is common, multifactoral, and associated with a variety of physiologic and pathologic conditions. The most commonly identified pathologic cause leading to hyperbilirubinemia is hemolytic disease of the newborn. We report a five-days-old female infant with neonatal jaundice secondary to splenic hematoma.
Tyrosinemia type 1 is an inherited metabolic disorder attributable to deficiency of fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase enzyme. Here we report an eight month-old male Saudi infant who presented with jaundice, fever, and disturbed level of consciousness accompanied by abdominal distension, hepatomegaly and ascites with features suggestive of rickets. The diagnosis of tyrosinemia typ 1was confirmed bas...
We report a 51-day-old infant with congenital intrahepatic porto-systemic venous shunt associated with galactosemia, who presented with cholestatic jaundice. He was treated with ursodeoxycholic acid, calcium supplements and galactose-free diet. The child was asymptomatic six weeks later.
In 1914 Albert Niemann, a German pediatrician who primarily studied infant metabolism, published a description of an Ashkenazi Jewish infant with jaundice [5], nervous system and brain impairments, swollen lymph nodes (lymphadenopathy), and an enlarged liver and spleen (hepatosplenomegaly). He reported that these anatomical disturbances resulted in the premature death of the child at the age of...

is two to five times greater in infants of diabetic mothers than in other infants. Poor glycemic control in the first trimester during organogenesis is thought to be the major reason for congenital malformations (1). The most frequently seen types of malformations in infants of diabetic mothers involve the cardiovascular, skeletal, central nervous, gastrointestinal and genitourinary systems, wi...
