Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Sc.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Medicine - Department of Pediatrics Summary: Introduction:Some 60% of normal newborns become clinically jaundiced sometime during the first week of life. Sufficiently elevated levels of bilirubin can lead to bilirubin encephalopathy and subsequently kernicterus, with devastating, permanent neurodevelopmental handicaps. Phototherapy and exchange blood transfusion are two major therapeutic strategies to prevent bilirubin-induced brain damage in neonates. The choice of therapy depends on the severity of hyperbilirubinemia, but phototherapy is the most frequently used treatment. Objectives:Our aim was to assess irradiance levels to which babies are exposed to during conventional phototherapy for neonatal jaundice in the NICU and its effectiveness in reducing the bilirubin levels
