There was some new on this subject yesterday on BBS.It will be probably wrong to say that Jaundice is increasing due to increasing birth rates. We would be more correct if we say that more jaundice cases are coming to the hospital probably because our services are now better and more children are born in the hospital, or referred from other centres or even our parents are more aware of the condition.I am of the view that our birth rates are falling although number of deliveries in the hospital may be rising, which is a good trend.
Actually most jaundice in the neonates is normal and I wonder why it was made a news item!
