Disease pattern in newborns (pale cyanosis, distended body) due to the accumulation of amphenicol antibiotics such as chloramphenicol or azidamfenicol, which cannot yet be metabolized by the immature organism through conjugation with glucuronic acid. Nowadays, this is a very rare disease because amphenicol antibiotics are rarely used systemically.
