(Johnson & Bhutani) This typically occurs in the initial days of life as the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is developing, and both the bilirubin binding and clearing mechanisms are immature. A relatively high incidence of severe hyperbilirubinemia (1 in 2480 live births) has been reported in Canada (Sgro M, Campbell D, Shah).
