Abstract

Neonatal jaundice (NNJ) was a common disorder in the past in Hong Kong with its dreaded complication of kernicterus. With the improvement in socio-economic situation, better public education and readily available high standard medical service, kernicterus is now a highly unusual disease. A lot of research works have been published from different Hong Kong workers in this area. This review was attempted to put together most of the published works in NNJ to give an overall Hong Kong picture.
