The dietary treatment of phenylketonuria.
Phenylketonuria is an inborn error of the metabolism of phenylalanine associated almost invariably with grave mental deficiency, and often with epilepsy resembling petit mal. It was suggested that the mental deficiency was due to an intoxication by phenylalanine or one of its metabolites and might be relieved by feeding a diet low in phenylalanine (Woolf and Vulliamy, 1951).

متن کاملMegaloblastic Anaemia Complicating Dietary Treatment of Phenylketonuria in Infancy.
Nutritional deficiencies may complicate the treatment of phenylketonuria by 'synthetic' phenylalanine restricted diets. This danger is greatest in infancy when growth is rapid. We report the occurrence of megaloblastic anaemia of infancy due to folic acid deficiency, during the dietary treatment of a baby with phenylketonuria. Case Report Simon B. was born at home on July 16, 1960, the third ch...

Both the efficacy of the low phenylalanine diet in preventing brain damage (Bessman, 1966), and the adequacy of diagnostic criteria when applied in early infancy (Schneider and Garrard, 1966; Stephenson and McBean, 1967a) have recently been questioned.
