Highlights
Prolonged jaundice is defined as persisting hyperbilirubinemia after the 14th day following birth for term babies and after the 21st day for premature babies with serum bilirubin level higher than 5mg/dL [1,2]
Prolonged unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia may be associated with some pathological conditions
We aimed to evaluate the etiological, clinical and laboratory findings of babies with prolonged jaundice
Summary
Prolonged jaundice is defined as persisting hyperbilirubinemia after the 14th day following birth for term babies and after the 21st day for premature babies with serum bilirubin level higher than 5mg/dL [1,2]. It can occur in 2-15 % of all newborns and up to 40% in breastfed infants [3]. The etiology of prolonged jaundice in infants mostly remained unidentified and reported in association with breastfeeding in the literature [6,7]. We aimed to evaluate the etiological, clinical and laboratory findings of babies with prolonged jaundice
