1. Regaring the case, you may have to send the case again as it would be difficult to comment without knowing the background. We get hundreds of mails and keeping track of each becomes difficult. 2. Regarding prophylactic phototherapy, it may be used in extremely preemies and in patients with Criggler Najjer syndrome Type 1. 3. Regarding the ROTA vaccine and malaria vaccine, they are articles by themselves. We will let you know as soon as article on NEWER VACCINES is uploaded on Pediatric Oncall.
