Abstract
In a series of 600 infants with a birth weight below 5 pounds, the incidence of diarrhea among those receiving more than 24 hours of phototherapy was 17.1% (13/76), whereas the incidence in controls was 14.8% (55/371). This study fails to confirm a significantly increased incidence of diarrhea in low birth weight infants receiving phototherapy.Keywords
