Abstract

In view of the indistinctiveness of the use of phototherapy in jaundiced term newborn infants a study is reported. The study is a longitudinal one (1966-1984). The number of infants is given in the time period before the use of phototherapy, during phototherapy as well as during the period of less frequent use of phototherapy. It appears that the use of phototherapy did not influence the number of exchanged infants. It is concluded that in the term newborn infants phototherapy is frequently used unnecessary.
