Failure to thrive arises from a heterogeneous group of paediatric disorders including defects in energy metabolism such as mitochondrial diseases. Illustrating this, we describe a girl with poor growth who eluded diagnosis until she developed characteristics of Kearns-Sayre syndrome. Her history emphasises that defects of energy metabolism can present as isolated growth failure.
生长发育不良源于多种儿科疾病,包括能量代谢缺陷,如线粒体疾病。为说明这一点,我们描述了一名生长发育迟缓的女孩,她一直未被诊断出来,直到出现了卡恩斯-塞尔综合征的特征。她的病史强调,能量代谢缺陷可表现为单纯的生长发育迟缓。
