CONGENITAL FAMILIAL NONHEMOLYTIC JAUNDICE WITH KERNICTERUS

John F. Crigler, Victor A. Najjar·1952·PEDIATRICS

Abstract

Seven patients with congenital familial nonhemolytic jaundice with kernicterus are presented. Six of these were hospitalized and studied. One was diagnosed by history. The abnormality appears to be genetically determined, being inherited most likely as a lethal recessive characteristic. The only abnormal laboratory findings are pronounced elevation of indirect serum bilirubin and delayed excretion of injected bilirubin. Pathologically, bile thrombi in the canaliculi were found in all patients studied, with very slight periportal fibrosis present in the liver sections from Cases 1, 5 and 6. In the single brain examined, Case 2, kernicterus was described. The prognosis is extremely poor, the patients generally dying in the first year of life. No therapeutic measures have been found helpful. The similarity to a previously described disease, familial nonhemolytic jaundice, is discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
