I have been approached by one of our Neonatologists re the measurement of
bilirubin in neonates in developing countries with no or minimal laboratory
support, and I wondered if anyone knew of a system for measurement, either
semi-quantitatively, ie by comparison with a known set of standards ("to
estimate to the nearest 50 umolL would be a bonus!"). Alternatively, if
there is some POC-type system available; I know the Reflotron Plus is not
suitable for measurement of bilirubin in neonates.
Many Thanks,
