Symptoms of pathological jaundice in newborns

Pathological jaundice in newborns may present with symptoms such as yellowish discoloration of the skin and sclera. Severe cases often lead to bilirubin encephalopathy, typically manifesting as lethargy, seizures, and opisthotonus. Infants with hemolytic disease may appear pale; after infection, they may develop fever, clay-colored stools, and if pneumonia is present, they may exhibit poor feeding.
