An eight-week-old infant with diarrhoea and dehydration became markedly alkalotic after administration of magnesium oxide powder. The literature does not substantiate the premise that significant magnesium deficiency may occur during acute gastroenteritis in an otherwise healthy infant. Physicians should be warned about this form of therapy as a possible cause of metabolic alkalosis. The possibility of congenital alkalosis with diarrhoea should be considered in differential diagnosis.
一名患有腹泻和脱水的8周龄婴儿在服用氧化镁粉末后出现明显碱中毒。文献并未证实健康婴儿在急性肠胃炎期间可能会出现严重镁缺乏这一前提。应提醒医生注意这种治疗方式可能是代谢性碱中毒的一个原因。在鉴别诊断时应考虑先天性腹泻伴碱中毒的可能性。
