In answer to Jill Meltzer's request for references to share with the doctor who was overtreating jaundice, I would suggest the following: Gartner, LM. Neonatal Jaundice. Pediatrics in Review 1994; 15:422-432 American Academy of Pediatrics. Practice Parameter: Management of Hyperbilirubinemia in the Health Term Newborn. Pediatrics 1994; 94:558-565 This should provide a solid review of the subject and the "official" guidelines for management. If he wants any more information, please ask the doctor to contact me directly. Larry Gartner Lawrence M.
