Eosinophil count in blood with neonatal hyperbilirubinemia treated with phototherapy
Background. Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is one of the most common causes of hospital admissions in the first two weeks of life. Phototherapy is one of the routine methods for managing hyperbilirubinemia but it has many complications, and one of them is an increase in the eosinophilic count. Those wh...

| description | Background. Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is one of the most common causes of hospital admissions in the first two weeks of life. Phototherapy is one of the routine methods for managing hyperbilirubinemia but it has many complications, and one of them is an increase in the eosinophilic count. Those who develop eosinophilia are at risk for asthma later on. The purpose was to assess the effect of phototherapy on blood eosinophilic count in term newborns with severe indirect hyperbilirubinemia. Materials and methods. A retrospective (case-control) analytic study was done at the neonatal intensive care unit at Al-Zahraa Teaching Hospital from January 2022 to December 2023. It involved 102 neonates with severe hyperbilirubinemia with gestational age ≥ 37 weeks (test group A) and 150 control normal newborns (group B). Total serum bilirubin (TSB) level, hemoglobin concentration, and eosinophil count before and after phototherapy were analyzed from medical records. Results. Before phototherapy, patients in group A had lower levels of Hb and higher levels of TSB compared to the controls (group B); however, there was no significant difference in eosinophilic count (p = 0.06). The neonates in group A had a lower level of TSB (p = 0.001) and a higher eosinophil count (p = 0.001) after phototherapy. Conclusions. There is a significant increase in eosinophilic count after phototherapy. |
