Key words: Breast milk, Jaundice, Biliary atresia
The diagnosis of biliary atresia was ultimately made in an infant who still presented with jaundice after his first month of life and had previously been misdiagnosed with breast milk jaundice. The authors underline that biliary atresia should always be suspected in an infant with persistent jaundice after the third week of life.
