Abstrakt: A preterm infant with classic phenylketonuria required rather less than 90 mg/kg of phenylalanine and between 270 and 290 mg/kg tyrosine daily to achieve a rate of weight gain of around 20 g/kg per day. Using Lofenalac as the low phenylalanine food, the intake of tyrosine, an essential amino acid for patients with phenylketonuria seemed to be limiting in respect of growth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
