Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. If left untreated, HIV can lead to the disease AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). Unlike some other viruses, the human body cannot get rid of HIV. That means that once you have HIV, you have it for life.
Infant jaundice is most often caused by an excess of bilirubin. Bilirubin is the waste that remains after hemoglobin (the predominant protein in red blood cells) is released from the breakdown of the red blood cells that carry oxygen throughout the body.
Physiologic Jaundice is the most common and normal type of jaundice in babies. It can affect up to 60% of full term babie s in the first week of life, and it is caused by elevated bilirubin levels.ilirubin is a substance created by the normal breakdown of red blood cells. It is processed and removed by the liver. Jaundice will develop when a babyâs liver is not efficient enough to remove the bilirubin from the bloodstream.
