I have always been impressed by the work done in phototherapy by Brazilians. In our 1968 article1 we actually referred to 9 of the 10 Brazilian authors mentioned by Dr. Senna. Now that there is so much concern and controversy in this country on the use of phototherapy it would be great if once again Brazil led the way by publishing some follow-up studies of infants treated by phototherapy over a decade ago. These studies would be very useful, and I'm sure avidly read by North Americans now that we have "seen the light."
