Patient's question:
Is neonatal jaundice that does not subside repeatedly related to pulmonary cystadenoma? During prenatal check-ups, a pulmonary cystadenoma was found in the fetus. At 24 hours after birth, the jaundice level was around 6, at 48 hours it was around 10, and on the 5th day it peaked at 16.7. Blue light treatment was administered for 3 days, after which the jaundice level dropped to around 10, but then rose again to around 15.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to serve you. In your medical history, the infant is a newborn who has repeatedly experienced neonatal jaundice since birth. It has been diagnosed with pulmonary cystic adenoma. Pulmonary cystic adenoma can lead to abnormal lung function, causing tissue hypoxia, which in turn triggers recurrent jaundice. Additionally, the infant has a dry cough and vomiting. Please pay attention to the possibility that the pulmonary cystic adenoma may be secondary to pulmonary infection caused by neonatal pneumonia. Infection can also cause jaundice, so it's important to monitor for signs of neonatal pneumonia.
