ABSTRACT
Even though phototherapy has been used for more than 30 years, reports of significant toxicity are rare. Phototherapy is highly effective method for preventing and treating hyperbilirubinemia. A prospective study was performed in 200 neonates with hyperbilirubinemia in Children's Medical Center, Tehran. Complications of phototherapy [weight loss, fever, loose stool, Hypocalcaemia, thrombocytopenia] were evaluated. There was a positive relation between efficacy and irradiance but complications were not different. Hypocalcaemia, thrombocytopenia and loose stool [P<0/05] were found. Intensive phototherapy and double phototherapy were more effective than single phototherapy. There was no relation between mode of phototherapy and complications
