Background: Phototherapy with radiation of 460-490 nm wavelengths provides the most potent therapeutic effect for neonatal jaundice. However, the efficacy of phototherapy has been estimated using single-wavelength detectors with sensitivity at approximately 460 nm. Cyclobilirubin formation capacity...
