title: Crigler-Najjar syndrome: treatment at home with phototherapy.
abstract: An infant became jaundiced in the neonatal period. The serum bilirubin failed to fall with phototherapy. A diagnosis of Crigler Najjar type 1 syndrome was made by exclusion and confirmed by liver biopsy. The infant has been successfully treated at home with phototherapy. Liver transplantation remains a therapeutic option.
