title: [Neonatal monitoring of congenital hypothyroidism in a mild iodine-deficiency region].
abstract: The paper analyzes the 2001-2004 data on congenital thyroid deficiency in a mild iodine-deficiency region. There is an increase in the number of neonatal infants with abnormally high thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) values. There is evidence that there is a need for neonatal TSH screening. The latter makes it possible to diagnose congenital thyroid deficiency from the first days of a baby's life and to prevent serious consequences in future.
