Studies of secondary cystathioninuria in three infants with untreated galactosemia are described. Excretion of cystathionine became normal and generalized aminoaciduria disappeared when galactose was eliminated from the diet. Observations also are presented on excretion of cystathionine and other sulfur amino acids by patients with various types of liver disease.
