Bronze Baby Syndrome

A male infant born at 37 weeks of gestation and weighing 2935 g was delivered by induced vaginal delivery to a 20-year-old multiparous mother after a pregnancy complicated by Rhesus isoimmunization. His serum total bilirubin was 10.6 mg/dL at 6 hours of age and 14.4 mg/dL at 10 hours of age. The family history was significant for a sibling who was also Coombs positive with hemolytic jaundice requiring several days of phototherapy. The infant was placed under a multiple-bank LED phototherapy device and treated with intravenous fluids and immune globulin to avoid exchange transfusion.
