Abstract
Summary The dye decolorization test is an easy and reliable method for the screening of galactosemia in the newborn infant. In a pilot study involving 430 infants, it was found that the decolorization time may be prolonged by low hematocrit values, excessive storage of the specimen, and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, as well as with galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase deficiency; these factors must be taken into consideration in interpreting an abnormal result.
