| Popis: | The articles by Wysowski et al (Pediatrics 61:165, 1978) and Doan et al (Pediatrics 64:324, 1979), implicating the use of a phenolic disinfectant in the nursery as a cause of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, led us to discontinue the use of phenolics and substitute chlorhexidine in its place. This change in policy was implemented with a certain degree of concern as "low level" disinfectants, such as chlorhexidine or quaternary ammonium compounds, have been implicated themselves as factors in the spread of nosocomial infections.1,2 |
