Popis: | This report describes a case of subacute necrotizing encephalomyelopathy (Leigh's syndrome) in a 7-month-old boy. The clinical data suggest an association with a disorder of renal tubular acidification, characterized by both (proximal) type II and (distal) type I renal tubular acidosis (hybrid type). Concomitantly, the initial uncompensated metabolic acidosis evolved into a mixed metabolic acidosis and respiratory alkalosis-features of this syndrome not previously reported. |
