Hyperbilirubinemia in infants with urinary tract infection
Abstract:
In the light of a retrospective analysis of 213 case records of infants with urinary tract infections, hyperbilirubinemia was disclosed in 19 cases. In 7 cases jaundice was the main cause of admission of these children to the hospital. It was observed mainly in the youngest age group up to 3 months. Jaundice was hemolytic in some cases and hepatic in others. Urinary tract malformations had no effect on the frequency of jaundice in urinary tract infection or on its intensity.
