Abstract: Neonatal jaundice is the most common cause of increased bilirubin concentration in the blood. Currently, for the evaluation of jaundice in newborns, there is a non-invasive method, without the need for blood collection, called BiliCheck.Phototherapy is, without a doubt, the most widely used therapeutic modality worldwide for the treatment of neonatal jaundice. The most feared consequence of hyperbilirubinemia is bilirubin encephalopathy. The objective of this study is to describe the importance of phototherapy, its indications, early initiation of treatment, and to discuss the possible implications of this approach on therapeutic efficacy
