ABSTRACT
Screening 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.
