Abstract excerpt
Metabolic studies are described in a patient who presented at 3 weeks of age with severe anaemia, hyperbilirubinaemia and hypotonicity. Clinically, glycogen storage disease type II (Pompe disease) was suspected because of a massively enlarged heart and hepatosplenomegaly. This was confirmed biochemically by the demonstration of glycogen accumulation in skeletal muscle and undetectable acid alpha-1,4-glucosidase...
