Congenital chloride diarrhoea was diagnosed in 16 Kuwaiti children over a 7 year period (1980-1986) with an estimated incidence of 7.6 per 100,000 live births. The mean age at diagnosis was 3.2 months (range 1 week to 5 months). There were 9 boys and 7 girls with a mean age of 3 years 10 months (range 10 months to 7 years). All children had a shortened gestational period, abdominal distension and chronic diarrhoea. The serum electrolytes in all patients prior to treatment showed hyponatraemia, hypokalaemia, hypochloraemia and metabolic alkalosis. The diagnosis was confirmed by a stool chloride content that exceeded the sum of faecal sodium and potassium. Fifteen patients survived and showed catch-up growth with adequate replacement therapy and 1 died with renal failure. |
