Abstract:Background: Neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia (NH) is a common problem worldwide and causes morbidity and mortality especially in low-resource settings. Methods: A study was carried out at Shoklo Malaria Research Unit clinics along the Thailand-Myanmar border to evaluate a non-invasive test for diagnosis of NH in a low-resource setting.
