A member asked:

What type of parasites cause jaundice? could a bilirubin blood test detect jaundice caused by a parasite infection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: A test for bilirubin tells the level of bilirubin but not why it may be high. Parasite infestation is an uncommon cause of jaundice.
