A total population of 29,395 neonates cared for in the six-year period from 1971 to 1976 was reviewed for evidence of autopsy-proven kernicterus. A total of 327 neonates died and 232 were autopsied. The only cases of kernicterus occurred in four near-term infants with antemortem proven sepsis. All four of these infants weighed more than 2,200 gm and were delivered after gestations of either 36 or 37 weeks. These cases of kernicterus occurred during a period when more aggressive management of hyperbilirubinemia in low-birth-weight infants had apparently eliminated immaturity as a predisposing factor in the development of kernicterus, uncovering bacterial infection as the major remaining etiologic co-factor.
