and 84% respectively.ragarding the low price and the ease of the usage on one hand and interlaboratory variations in bilirubin measurements on the other hand, transcutaneous bilirubinometry by icterometer is considered to be an accurate method for screening of significant hyperbilirubinemia in Iranian neonates.}, keywords = {ictermeter,bilirubin,transcutaneous

dermatophytes including:trichophyton mentagrophytes,microsporum gypseum and microsporum canis.methenol extracts of the plants were dossolved in 70% ethanol and added to the sab-dex agar medium before sterilization.evaluation of minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC) and minimum fungicidal concentration(MFC)for each extract ,and comparison of tested cases with Griseofulvin,indicated that myrtus extract was the most effective of all plant extracts.however other plant extracts have also shown significant antifungal activity.threrfore,futher investigation was carrird out to check the antifungal activity of Myrtus extract under in vivo condition.for this purpose Guinea pigs were inoculated with fungi suspension.after the appearance of infection,s singns,each animal was treated with either 1% Myrtus extract ointment,1% clotrimazol(positive control) or vaseline (negative control).the average time for treatment with 1% Myrtus extract ointment was shorter than that of 1% clotrimazol,while
