Brief Summary: OBJECTIVES I Compare the effectiveness of a single dose of tin mesoporphyrin and special blue light phototherapy in controlling hyperbilirubinemia in premature newborns in Greece

II Evaluate the dose of tin mesoporphyrin sufficient to alleviate the need for phototherapy without adverse effects in these newborns
Detailed Description: PROTOCOL OUTLINE Patients are randomly assigned to a clinical group within 96 hours of birth Patients are stratified by gestational age clinical status and age at treatment

One group receives tin mesoporphyrin Patients are crossed to phototherapy if the plasma bilirubin concentration reaches the treatment threshold

The second group receives phototherapy with Special Blue fluorescent lamps for at least 24 hours Patients receive a second phototherapy course if the plasma bilirubin concentration reaches the treatment threshold within 24 hours of the first course
