Item Persistent tyrosinemia detected by thin-layer chromatography.(1999-12-13) Neto, E C; Schulte, J; Anele, E; Becker, D; Rubim, R; Lewis, E; De Mari, J; Giugliani, RScreening for tyrosinemia is not routinely performed worldwide. Using a low expense thin-layer chromatography (TLC) for amino acids we detected a high frequency of transient tyrosinemia with secondary hyperphenylalaninemia in some newborns. Serum follow up showed the need to introduce adequate therapy in these babies.Item Screening for congenital toxoplasmosis in Brazil.(1999-12-13) Neto, E C; Anele, E; Schulte, J; Rubim, R; Becker, D; Brites, AToxoplasmosis acquired at the end of the pregnancy can produce ocular and neurological sequelae. The detection of IgM anti-Toxoplasma gondii in dried blood spots of newborns is an important tool for early treatment and prevention. In this study we showed results of a pilot study about the prevalence of congenital toxoplasmosis in Brazil and concluded that this disease should be included in the menu of neonatal screening programs.
