Dr. Foram Koradia, Dr. Harshal Wagh, Dr. Deepa Phirke
Abstract: This case series examines the incidence and outcomes of inborn errors of metabolism IEM in neonates admitted to a tertiary care NICU in India. Five cases are presented, each diagnosed with a different IEM. Despite early diagnosis and intervention, the mortality rate was 60%, highlighting the critical need for a national newborn screening program in India. This study underscores the importance of early detection and treatment to prevent adverse outcomes and calls for systematic screening to be implemented nationwide.
