Neonatal jaundice: when to treat, when to watch and wait

M R Lasker et al. Postgrad Med. 1996 Mar.

Abstract

What clinical circumstances call for aggressive treatment of jaundice in newborns? Is cessation of breast-feeding necessary to help bring down the high bilirubin concentration? When should phototherapy be started--and stopped? The authors address these and other questions in this thorough guide to differential diagnosis and management of neonatal jaundice.
