Abstract
The detection in a screening program of a newborn infant with galactokinase deficiency is reported. Hypergalactosemia, galactosuria, and mild hepatosplenomegaly were the symptoms. Hypergalactosemia after milk intake was shown to be of rather short duration. It is recommended that blood samples for screening procedures be taken no sooner than 1 hour after the first milk feeding of the day, or, better still, 1 to 2 hours after the second milk feeding of the day.
