Neonatal Jaundice first time appears in the 2nd week not a cause is __________: (A) Galactosemia, (B) Rh incompatibility, (C) Hypothyroidism, (D) Breast milk jaundice
Answer is B. This causes an infant to become yellow (jaundiced). The level of bilirubin in the infant&;s blood may range from mild to dangerously high. Rh incompatibility develops only when the mother is Rh-negative and the infant is Rh-positive. This problem has become less common in places that provide good prenatal care.
