I got the impression from reading about ikteros on Google that ikteros = jaundice, not that ikteros = yellow.
Yes, it does mean jaundice. As Faldage said, it is also the name of a bird, the sight of which was supposed to cure jaundice. I was adding for the benefit of the ornithologically curious that the bird in question is the golden oriole.
