Neonatal hyperthyroidism is usually caused by the passage of maternal thyroid receptor antibodies. This relatively rare condition has various manifestations including cholestasis, prematurity, and cardiomegaly. We present a case of a preterm infant with neonatal Graves' disease who presented with cholestasis, cardiomegaly, and a macularpapular rash that was thought to be suspicious for congenital infection. This case has been reported to illustrate lessons learnt for early identification of a neonate with Graves' disease in order to expedite treatment.
