ABSTRACT:
A method for detecting the presence of drug metabolites in the meconium of newborn infants is described. The method involves separation of the drug metabolites from meconium in solution and then assaying the solution for the presence of the drug metabolites. The method is particularly useful for detection of cocaine, morphine and cannabinoids; however, any drug metabolite in the infant meconium can be tested. Conventional assay methods are used for the drug metabolites in the solutions derived from the meconium. The method provides for early detection of drug presence in infants which contribute to infant illness.
