Abstract
Tyrosinemia resulting from administration of protein-dense infant diets was detected by newborn screening in two infants. Change of formula resulted in rapid resolution of the hypertyrosinemia. These cases identify nonstandard infant diets as a benign and reversible cause of tyrosinemia and a potential cause of positive newborn phenylketonuria screening.
