BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Hyperbillirubinemia in infants have been associated with neuronal damage including in the auditory system. Some researchers have suggested that the bilirubin-induced auditory neuronal damages may be temporary and reversible. This study was aimed at investigating the auditory neuropathy and reversibility of auditory abnormalities in hyperbillirubinemic infants. SUBJEC...

A 48 year old lady presented with jaundice and exertional breathlesness. Her laboratory reports showed anaemia, reticulocytosis, leucocytosis, elevated Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH), alkaline phosphatase levels, hyperbillirubinemia and positive direct Coomb's test. After ruling out all the other causes of autoimmunity and hemolytic anemia, she was diagnosed as leukemoid reaction due to autoimmune...

Atazanavir is one highly active antiretroviral therapy for naïve patients or patients with previous regimen failure. However, it seems that the protease inhibitor induces hyperlipidemia. Hyperbillirubinemia is the most common clinical adverse events but reports of cardiotoxicity due to atazanavir are scarce. The authors report a patient who had QT prolongation, first-degree atrioventricularbloc...

background: hyperbilirubinemiais a common problem in newborn infants. it can progress to kernicterus in severe forms, unless an intervention is initiated. the objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of clofibrate with phenobarbital in full-term neonates with nonhemolytic jaundice. methods: this double blind clinical trial study was performed on 60 neonate who were divided randomly i...

This study evaluates the platelet count changes in neonates with hyperbillirubinemia who received phototherapy. In this Prospective Descriptive-cross sectional study 144 full term newborns with indirect hyperbillirubinemia who received phototherapy in neonatal ward of Bessat hospital in Hamedan province of Iran were studied from September 2007 to February 2008 for evaluation the effect of photo...

A 26-year-old lady with the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis who had received interferon beta1-b for eleven months was visited in MS clinic of our hospital because of icter and fatigue. Laboratory tests showed anemia, indirect hyperbillirubinemia, increased LDH, positive direct and indirect coomb's tests, and increased reticulocyte count and percentage. Other causes of autoimmune hemolytic anemi...

Background: Malaria is an endemic disease in India. It is a mosquito-borne infectious disease caused by genus Plasmodium. Complications usually occur with P.falciparum, its occurrence has been rarely reported in cases of P. vivax malaria. We observe 107 patients with P.vivax malaria who developed complications in the form of Thrombocytopenia, Acute kidney injury, hyperbillirubinemia & cerebral ...
