Kernicterus in a Full-Term Infant: The Need for Increased Vigilance
Keyword(s):
I read the article, "Kernicterus in a Full-Term Infant," in the June 1994 issue of Pediatrics, and wish to comment on the conclusions drawn by Penn et al. On the point of follow-up care after infants are discharged at 24 hours of life or sooner: I have found it to be good clinical practice to bring these infants into the office for their first examination at 3 days of life. The number of times that I have seen problems with newborns and especially those born to first time mothers are countless.
