Pathological neonatal jaundice and the neurological sequelae of hyperbilirubinemia are no longer a problem that requires focused research. Experts clearly see that if a newborn has excessive jaundice for any reason, but if detected early, diagnosed and treated promptly, the prognosis will be very good.

Neonatal jaundice is a condition in which the concentration of bilirubin in the blood increases too high compared to normal, penetrating the skin and connective tissues, causing yellowing of the skin and mucous membranes.
