Question
How long does it take to treat phenylketonuria?
Answer
The main clinical manifestations include intellectual impairment, seizures, and increased pigmentation. Infants are normal at birth. After changing diapers, symptoms usually reappear between 3 to 6 months, and become apparent by 1 year old. If not treated promptly, it can cause varying degrees of harm to the brain or nervous system, bringing lifelong suffering to the patient and even affecting their soul. This disease has always been one of the routine screening projects for neonates in the obstetrics department.
