Abstract :Aims: We aimed to investigate the effect of phototherapy treatment by showing that it increases systemic inflammation and changes in NLR (neutrophil count/lymphocyte count), PLO (platelet count/lymphocyte count), systemic Inflammation Index (platelet count × neutrophil count/lymphocyte count ratio) in peripheral blood. Methods: It was conducted at Balıkesir University Health Practice and Research Hospital between April 2023 and August 2023. 60 babies with a gestational age of ≥36 weeks and a birth weight of ≥2500 g were included in the study. Results: A statistically significant difference was detected between WBC, lymphocyte count, monocyte count, neutrophil count, lymphocyte/monocyte, systemic inflammatory index before and after phototherapy (p<0.05). Conclusion: We concluded that phototherapy is associated with the inflammatory process and may increase cytokine release. To investigate these effects of phototherapy, studies on larger populations are needed.
