“…Since more than half of the patients in this series, as well as patients reported by others (3,5,6,16,28), were initially thought to have Reye syndrome, it may be that children with mediumchain acyl CoA dehydrogenase deficiency represent a subset of those patients with the Reye syndrome phenotype. The onset of symptoms in patients with this enzyme defect often follows a viral infection, but they can also become symptomatic after prolonged fasting not necessarily associated with viral illness.…”

“…The clinical experience gained from the study of these patients, as well as patients described by others (2,5,6,16,(27)(28)(29), permits us to draw a few general conclusions about the nature of the illness associated with medium-chain acyl CoA dehydrogenase deficiency. In some patients, the disease may be severe and fatal: patient B-l died during her second episode (1); Gregersen et al (28) and Howat et al (16) both reported fatal cases; and it is likely that some (if not all) of the sibling deaths in the families of our patients resulted from the same disease.…”

“…Obraz kliniczny jest podobny do encefalopatii w zespole Reye'a z towarzyszącymi objawami hipoglikemii hipoketotycznej, hepatomegalią, hiperammonemią, zwiększeniem aktywności enzymów wątrobo-wych oraz zmniejszeniem stężenia karnityny w osoczu, mięśniach, wątrobie i w sercu [38]. dzieci widoczne jest osłabnie, obniżenie napięcia mięśniowego, drażliwość, zaburzenia karmienia, letarg, natomiast brak jest wyraź-nych objawów miopatii [38][39][40]. W osoczu i w niektórych tkankach stwierdza się bardzo niski poziom karnityny, a poziom acylokarnityny jest nieoznaczalny.…”
