Chronic Diarrhea and Alkalosis

We have read with great interest the excellent report by Virginia L. Tucker et al. of a case of "Chronic Diarrhea and Alkalosis" in the November issue (Pediatrics, 34:601, 1964).

One point in the patient's history, it seems to us, calls for further clarification. The infant "soon after birth developed signs and symptoms of intestinal obstruction and on the second day of life a volvulus was surgically reduced."

We have reported four cases of what is obviously the same disease, and we have subsequently seen two other patients.
