Question
The baby has already turned a month old, but their face still looks rather yellow, and it seems much darker than when they were just born. I went to the hospital to test for jaundice, and the body index is over 4, while the face index is 6.5.
Answer
Congenital hemolytic anemia, such as thalassemia, hereditary spherocytosis; acquired hemolytic anemia, such as autoimmune hemolytic anemia, neonatal hemolytic disease, hemolysis after blood transfusion with different blood types, and hemolysis caused by tofu skin, primaquine, snake venom, mushrooms, and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.
