Abstract A newborn female infant suddenly developed a generalized gray-brown discoloration of her skin while receiving phototherapy for hyperbilirubinemia. The discoloration waned over the succeeding weeks. Her serum contained an unknown pigment that had a characteristic absorbance on spectrophotometry. The distinctive findings and some possible causes of the bronze baby syndrome are discussed. The findings are compared to other causes of dusky-hued skin in the neonate. The bronze baby syndrome is usually innocuous but can signal life-threatening disease.
