Abstract

Objective: To describe the screening methods and their diagnostic utility in classic galactosemia in newborns. Method: Descriptive and documentary bibliographic review, using a total of 27 articles from databases of: PubMed; Medline, Elsevier, Scielo, Medigraphic and Google Scholar. Results and conclusions: It was possible to show that detection by the total titration test of galactose-1-phosphate in erythrocytes, concentration of galactose in blood and activity of the GALT enzyme of erythrocytes for galactosemia in newborns allows to detect, in a timely manner classic galactosemia in neonates and helps minimize morbidity and mortality rates in the affected population, therefore, it is important that health authorities should consider neonatal screening in the population at risk of classic galactosemia.
