2week old full term born newborn presented with lethargy,weak cry. Previous 2 siblings died at day 2 and 3 after birth. Both were delivered vaginally without complication and had hyperpnea.
on examination, primitive reflexes were slow and there was no acidosis. Examination of all systems are normal except for firm hepatomegaly. Random blood sugar and Calcium are normal. Blood is sent for culure. Urine examination is normal but positive for reducing substance. Does this history go with galactosemia? Any other possibility?
