[edit] Jaundice

Is there any information available on jaundice treatment? 68.55.216.197 02:14, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

I wonder if the article should explain what happens if jaundice is not treated. Is a baby's life in danger if it is not treated for jaundice (assuming the jaundice does not go away by itself)? Saleem ready discussed: "With high doses of bilirubin (severe hyperbilirubinemia) there can be a complication known as kernicterus. This is the chief reason for neonatal jaundice to be treated. The effects of kernicterus range from fever, seizures, and a high-pitched crying to mental retardation." David Ruben ^Talk 00:57, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

That section appears to have disappeared. Could we have it back? --Puellanivis 22:01, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

I believe it moved to Neonatal jaundice, no?--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 12:22, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Popular reference

The pop culture reference was not helpful. I removed it to give the aritcle a boost of credibililty.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.62.130.213 (talk • contribs) 05:44, 17 April 2006.

There really should be the symptoms and treatments available.82.128.11.179 16:16, 1 February 2007 (UTC) Tolulope Ogunbiyi

The article is referenced to a "dictionary of cliches." That can't be right!!70.116.136.85 22:57, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
