DIAGNOSTIC DILEMMA:

This month's diagnostic dilemma: A full term neonate born by LSCS with birth asphxia and congenital anomalies, direct jaundice without raised liver enzymes. What is theprobable diagnosis?

Last month's query of an HIV positive infant with perinatal transmission of HIV and chronic hepatitis has received a timely and appropriate reply that has aided in the proper management of the child. Mitochondrial damage to the liver due to antenatal exposure to zidovudine was postulated by one of our viewers. The author has replied back stating that the lactate level was indeed high. Once this child was started on Carnitine and Thiamine supplements, the liver enzymes have fallen. Thus it seems to be mitochondrial damage due to ART.

Read the complete case and answer the dilemma at the link given below:
