A five month old infant who presented with failure to thrive and was found to have severe electrolyte depletion, metabolic alkalosis and hyperaldosteronism is described. The diagnosis of cystic fibrosis was made by demonstrating abnormal sweat electrolytes and pancreatic insufficiency. It is important to exclude cystic fibrosis in any infant presenting with this biochemical abnormality.
本文描述了一名五个月大的婴儿，该婴儿出现生长发育迟缓，被发现存在严重的电解质耗竭、代谢性碱中毒和醛固酮增多症。通过检测出汗电解质异常和胰腺功能不全确诊为囊性纤维化。对于任何出现这种生化异常的婴儿，排除囊性纤维化很重要。
