title: [Carotenemia].
abstract: The authors demonstrate two infants with a yellow skin coloration which developed as a result of excessive dietary carotenoid intake. The yellow coloration, contrary to jaundice, did not affect the sclerae. Elevated blood carotenoid levels were found and a temporary increase of aminotransferases. In both infants lower IgA levels were recorded. After modification of the diet the yellow coloration disappeared and gradually the aminotransferases reached normal levels.
