Abstract
The recent article by Olabiwonnu et al., reporting two new cases of galactokinase deficiency, deserves comment. The authors reported the results of serum and urine studies for galactose and galactose derivatives on their patients while on a "galactose-free diet." The urine galactose and galactitol levels were rather high. We recently followed a six-week-old classic galactosemic (galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase deficiency) while on Nutramigen and Prosobee and determined urine galactose and galactitol levels; in addition we have done urine and serum galactose and galactitol levels on the galactokinase deficient family we have been following and which was quoted in the article.2
