ResumoAn investigation was carried out to determine the part played by the liver in the production of icterus neonatorum. The results of blood studies including erythrocyte counts, hemoglobindeterminations and icteric indices, along with the excretion of bile pigments in the stools for the first two weeks of life, are presented. Histologic examinations of the liver of infants stillborn or those dead within two weeks of age are recorded. An hypothesis which links icterus neonatorum with the physiologicreadjustments in the liver and hemopoietic systems at birth is presented.
