Abstract
An infant with phenylketonuria unintentionally received a highly acidic low phenylalanine diet for 29 months. Temporary growth retardation and urolithiasis were observed, probably as direct effects of chronic acid loading. Caries at the age of 6 years may be a late consequence. This case report shows that chronic dietary acid load may cause serious side effects.Entities:
