Galactosemia with endogenous production of galactose-1-phosphate and with cystic fibrosis-like appearance at autopsy.

In an infant with galactosemia high levels of galactose-1-phosphate in red blood cells and of blood galactose were observed under a "galactose-free'' diet. The child did not thrive and developed a liver cirrhosis. At the age of 5 months he died unexpectedly. Post mortem examination revealed in the pancreas and the small intestine changes suggestive of a cystic fibrosis. Since the exogenous administration of galactose by diet could be excluded the endogenous production of significant amounts of galactose-1-phosphate has to be considered.

[D-penicillamine-induced IgA deficiency in the therapy of Wilson's disease].

Serum IgA deficiency was first noted in a 10 year old boy 8 months after the onset of D-penicillamine therapy. Special immunological examinations revealed a deficiency of the secretory component of IgA while cellular functions of T- and B-lymphocytes were normal. The patient showed discrete clinical signs compatible with IgA deficiency. Regular control of patients with Morbus Wilson and D-penicillamine treatment should include measurement of serum immunoglobulin levels.
