Abstract

Cystic fibrosis has variable clinical presentations at different ages. We presenthere a-7-month-old boy admitted with vomiting, hypokalemia, hyponatremia,hypochloremia and metabolic alkalosis that corresponded to a pseudo-Barttersyndrome. He had been hospitalized twice because of vomiting of unknownorigin. A sweat test had already been performed and the result was normal.He had been admitted to our pediatrics unit for diagnostic work-up.Reevaluation of physical examination, serum electrolytes, blood gases andcystic fibrosis mutation analysis finally led to a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis. Weplanned to call the attention to the often disregarded message that vomitingmay be the only sign of cystic fibrosis. Sometimes invasive tests planned toinvestigate the etiology of vomiting should be postponed.

Özet

Kistik fibrozis her yaşta farklı klinik bulgular ile karşımıza çıkabilen bir hastalıktır. Klinik değişkenliği zaman zaman tanı sürecini uzatabilir. Burada 7 aylık kusma ile başvuran ve hiponatremi, hipokalemi, hipokloremi ve metabolic alkoloz ile psödo-bartter sendromu tanısı konulan bir kistik fibrozis hastası sunulmaktadır. Hasta daha önce iki kez kusma etyolojisi araştırılmak için dış merkezlerde tetkik edilmiştir. Hastaya yapılan ter testi normal bulunmuştur. Hastaya yapılan ileri değerlendirme ile, kistik fibrozis gen analizi ile tanı konulmuştur. Kusma, kistik fibrozis hastalığının tek belirtisi olabilir. Hastalara kusmaya yönelik ileri invazif değerlendirmeler yapmadan once akılda tutulmalıdır.
