Diet does not ensure normal development in galactosemia

K. Widhalm, B. D. Miranda da Cruz and M. Koch
Department of Pediatrics, University of Vienna, Austria.

This review deals with the treatment of inherited classical galactosemia by a lactose-free diet. Although, with dietary treatment, there is a remarkable improvement in the acute phase of the disease, the long-term outcome has been disappointing for most patients, especially regarding the central nervous system and ovarian dysfunction in females. There is a need for new approaches to treatment, in combination with diet therapy, that could improve the outcome of patients with galactosemia.
