Wisconsin Newborn Screening Saves Tatiana From Fatal Disorder
A Wisconsin infant named Tatiana survived thanks to newborn screening that detects 44 disorders from a five drop blood test. The test, begun at birth, identified a long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency, guiding early treatment at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin and keeping her alive. The program screens about 125 babies annually and celebrated 50 years in the United States.
