  • Title: [Congenital or neonatal hypothyroidism with filter-paper levels of TSH less than 50 microU/ml. Conclusions on the detection strategy in France].
    Author: Léger J, Lemerrer M, Briard ML, Czernichow P.
    Journal: Arch Fr Pediatr; 1987 Jan; 44(1):13-6. PubMed ID: 3566439.
    Abstract:
    Between 1979 and 1983, 959 hypothyroid infants were discovered by the neonatal screening program in France. Sixteen had filter-paper TSH levels between 30 and 50 microU/ml: one was athyroid, ectopic thyroid in 5,10 had thyroids in place. These latter 16 cases argue for a second TSH control-value for filter paper TSH values between 30 and 50 microU/ml.
