Abstract
It is routine practice in our office to test wet diapers with fernic chloride 10% solution at 1-and 2-month well-baby visits. We also do this on all new patients who are 1 year or less as part of the first visit routine. We frequently see abnormal colors from certain urinary constituents, such as the by-products of aspirin metabolism, or from other substances in the diapers, such as detergent residue. In our experience, these have never given the classical blue-green color of phenylketonuria, which is quite characteristic.
