She was admitted at 32 days of age with hemolytic anemia and fragmencytosis, renal failure and thrombocytopenia. The renal failure required peritoneal dialysis followed by hemofiltration. The signs of pancytopenia of central origin and liver failure seen at that time raised the possibility of an intracellular defect of B12 metabolism. Chromatography of the amino acids and organic acids in the urine and plasma revealed homocystinemia, hypomethioninemia, homocystinuria and methylmalonic aciduria. The deficient B12 metabolism was confirmed in fibroblasts which showed deficits in both methyl and adenosyl-cobalamin synthesis. The metabolic disturbances were completely resolved after intravenous administration of hydroxy-cobalamin (2,000 micrograms per day) and folinic acid (25 mg per day) for 5 days. But the neurological abnormalities persisted, with retinitis pigmentosa and major leukodystrophic changes seen by MRI, and the infant died one month later.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>This new case emphasizes the importance of systematically screening all cases of neonatal hemolytic-uremic syndrome for this autosomal recessive disorder.</p>","PeriodicalId":8169,"journal":{"name":"Archives francaises de pediatrie","volume":"50 9","pages":"749-54"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19053636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
