In the acute phase, severely jaundiced infants become lethargic, hypotonic and suck poorly. If the hyperbilirubinemia is not treated, the infant becomes hypertonic and may develop a fever and a high-pitched cry.[1] The hypertonia is manifested by backward arching of the neck (retrocollis) and trunk (opisthotonus).
