Abstract
Between 1948 and 1953, 28 instances of kernicterus have been found among Japanese infants necropsied by the Atomic Bomb Casuality Commision in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. Clinical and serological data from 25 cases are presented.
With the exception of 1 infant, kernicterus in this series occurred in the absence of serologic evidence of hemolytic disease due to iso-immunization.
The clinical findings in 24 cases of kernicterus in whom iso-immunization could not be demonstrated were compared with those in similar cases reported recently in the literature.
