Amino Acids in Premature Infants
Keyword(s):
To the Editor.— In a recent paper in Pediatrics, Heird et al1 reported their evaluation of the use of a new amino acid mixture for parenteral nutrition in low birth weight infants. On the basis of their results the authors made the following statement: "These observations refute the concept that the metabolic capacity of LBW infants for amino acids is limited in comparison to that of term infants, older infants, and chi1dren."1(p49) Such a conclusion is not justified on the basis of the presented data.
