Capillary leak syndrome in a 5-month-old infant associated with intractable diarrhoea.
[systemic capillary leak syndrome]
Systemic
capillary
leak
syndrome
(
SCLS
)
is
a
rare
disorder
of
unknown
pathophysiology
,
characterised
by
episodic
life-threatening
hypotension
,
haemoconcentration
and
hypo-albuminaemia
.
A
5
-
month
-old
child
presented
with
episodes
of
relapsing
diarrhoea
,
vomiting
and
hyponatraemia
and
developed
generalised
oedema
during
treatment
.
Clinical
and
laboratory
findings
were
consistent
with
acute
SCLS
.
Treatment
with
careful
fluid
replacement
,
fresh
frozen
plasma
and
aminophylline
in
the
acute
phase
and
teophylline
and
gingko
biloba
in
the
chronic
phase
led
to
sustained
remission
during
follow-up
for
over
1
year
.
To
our
knowledge
,
this
is
the
youngest
case
of
SCLS
in
the
literature
and
is
unusual
in
that
it
presented
with
diarrhoea
.
