Abstract
A 5-year-old boy had recurrent vomiting and lethargy with lacticacidemia and ketoacidemia since birth. Lipoamide dehydrogenase deficiency was found in muscle and fibroblasts. Therapy with sodium dichloroacetate, thiamine, and carnitine was associated with reduction of the severity and frequency of the decompensation episodes and near normal plasma lactate levels. At 5 years of age, the patient has normal cognitive function and moderate motor impairment.Entities:
