| Usage: |
Galactosemia usually is asymptomatic at birth, but affected infants develop jaundice, diarrhea, vomiting & failure to gain weight. If the disease remains undetected, it leads to liver disease, cataracts, mental retardation, and even death. Bacterial infections are common & can lead to sepsis with ingestion of milk in the affected child. |
