Newborn fever and convulsions 19 days after birth, high jaundice. It should be considered whether the convulsions are caused by fever or by high bilirubin. Bilirubin is very high, accompanied by and elevated transaminase, suggesting liver damage.

If the convulsions are caused by high bilirubin, there may be abnormal sequelae affecting growth and development.
