Methods : Total of 750 blood specimens from 250 patients with fever, a temperature higher than 39℃ and suspected bacteremia were obtained. Each patient had two samples of blood, A(1ml) and B(4ml), obtained at... |

Purpose : We investigated whether there are independent intradaily changes in bilirubin levels in
normal neonates.
Methods : During the period of January 1996 till July 1996, 100 healthy newborn infants were
studied for at least 3 consecutive days. Starting from the third day of life, consistent intradaily
changes of bilirubin concentration were observed. And obstetric history, birth history, weight
change at 3 days were... |
