Dr. Zoger's point is well taken. We hope to be able to give a satisfactory follow-up report in the future. I believe as Dr. Byers indicated in his article that close observation of the jaundiced infant will help to detect early signs of neurological disturbance. Increasing lethargy and decreasing response of Moro, suck, and grasp should alert the clinician to the possibility of irreversible brain damage (bilirubin encephalopathy).
