BACKGROUND Hyperbilirubinaemia is a major cause of neonatal morbidity. Early identification of those infants most at risk might allow the development of targeted primary preventative therapy and follow-up. The objective of this study was to assess whether arterial umbilical cord bilirubin (aUCB) level at delivery predicts the development of neonatal jaundice in term deliveries. METHODS Retros...

Background & Aim: The manna of Cotoneaster nummularia (purgative manna) has been traditionally used in the Persian medicine for the treatment of neonatal jaundice. The effect of Cotoneaster manna on neonatal jaundice was investigated with systematic review and meta-analysis. Experimental: This study intended to explore the clinical trial...

Sinniah, D., Tay, L. K., and Dugdale, A. E. (1971). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 46, 712. Phenobarbitone in neonatal jaundice. Eighty-three jaundiced newborn infants were studied, 41 received phenobarbitone, and 42 served as controls. 48 hours after starting treatment the mean serum bilirubin level of the group of normal birthweight infants was significantly lower than that of controls. Ex...

n engl j med 358;9 www.nejm.org february 28, 2008 920 A male infant weighing 3400 g was born at 37 weeks’ gestation after an uncomplicated pregnancy. The mother is a 24-year-old primipara who has type A Rh-positive blood. The infant’s course in the hospital nursery was uncomplicated. Although his mother needed considerable help in establishing effective breast-feeding, he was exclusively breast...

An investigation was planned to inquire into the aetiology of neonatal jaundice other than that proved to be due to haemolytic disease. The course of the work evolved on three lines: first, a two-year period of case collection at the Birmingham Maternity Hospital; second, a comparison with another hospital reputedly having a much higher incidence of jaundice and, third, a long-term follow-up to...

The aims of this study were to detect the frequency at which the different types of neonatal jaundice occur in Makkah and to estimate the malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. This study included 239 neonates with neonatal jaundice, 20 anemic neonates and 21 healthy neonates. ABO incompatibility was observed in 31.6% of neonates with indirect hyperbilirubinemia, in 14.3% of those with early onset jaund...

background: neonatal jaundice is clinically presented in 60% of full-term newborns. about 8% of newborns with jaundice have urinary tract infection (uti) without any other clinical signs in favor of uti. in present study we evaluated clinical and paraclinical data that help to rapid and early diagnosis of uti in apparently healthy newborns with jaundice.   methods: from february to august 2006,...

INTRODUCTION Jaundice is the yellowish pigmentation of the skin, sclera, and mucous membranes resulting from bilirubin deposition. Children born to mothers with HIV are more likely to be born premature, with low birth weight, and to become septic-all risk factors for neonatal jaundice. Further, there has been a change in the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV guidelines f...

BACKGROUND Neonatal jaundice that occurs in ABO or Rhesus issoimunisation has been recognized as one of the major risk factors for development of severe hyperbilirubinemia and bilirubin neurotoxicity. AIM Aim of our study was to investigate clinical and laboratory parameters associated with hemolytic jaundice due to Rh and ABO incompatibility and compare results with the group of unspecific j...
