Abstract
Three cases are reported of term neonates with high serum total bilirubin levels without evident signs indicating hemolytic or other underlying disease. The three patients were treated with phototherapy and/or exchange transfusion. It is discussed that the current consensus guidelines are inconclusive with respect to 'success of phototherapy' and 'signs of underlying disease'. Recommendations are made to improve the practice guidelines.
