Abstract
Screening of infants for congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) using filter paper blood samples collected on the 5th day of life was performed with a radioimmunoassay for 17-hydroxyprogesterone without extraction with organic solvents. A total of 153,000 newborns were screened and 12 cases of CAH were detected (1:12,800). With recall levels related to gestational age, the recall rate could be lowered to 0.05%.Entities:
