[The evaluation of the psychosomatic development in children after infectious and idiopathic cholestatic jaundice in neonatal and infantile period].

We carried out the analysis of psychomotoric and somatic development of 38 children after the period of 6--12 months since suffering from neonatal and infantile jaundice (infectious and idiopathic). We did not confirm retardation of the psychomotoric development in the examined group, however we confirmed deficiency of body mass in 45% of patients. Cholestatic jaundice in this group did not influence the children's. psychomotoric development significantly in the following years. It seems, that deficiency of the body mass of examined children after cholestatic jaundice is mostly dependent on the gestational and labour risk factors or small birth weight rather than on clinical course of disease and etiological factors of jaundice.
