Abstract

Background: Hyperbilirubinemia is a common disease of neonatal period that comprises the vast majority of neonatal hospitalization. Since septicemia is a common cause of neonatal JAUNDICE, most of the pediatricians emphasize on thorough SEPSIS work-up. Between 1996 and 1998, we studied the etiology of neonatal JAUNDICE in Taleghani General Hospital. Materials and methods: During this cross sectional study, 112 icteric. infants who had birth weight of ≥2kg and total bilirubin of >15mg/dl were assessed. Initial data, clinical manifestations and laboratory results were all recorded. Results: The most prevalent causes of neonatal JAUNDICE Were breast-milk JAUNDICE (37 cases), and blood group incompatibility (23 cases). 24 infants have presented JAUNDICE in association with systemic infection. of whom 23 have presented clinical manifestations of SEPSIS, and one had solely conjunctivitis (as well as positive blood culture).Conclusion: Results have revealed that those infants, who have JAUNDICE in the absence of apparent clinical manifestations of infection, require no further SEPSIS work-up.
