Early treatment of Menkes disease with parenteral Cooper-Histidine: Long-term follow-up of four treated patients

1998-03-05

Abstract excerpt

We report on the long-term clinical course of 4 boys with Menkes disease, treated from early infancy with parenteral copper-histidine, with follow-up over 10–20 years. Three of the 4 had male relatives with a severe clinical course compatible with classical Menkes disease. As a consequence of early treatment, our patients have normal or near-normal intellectual development, but have developed many of the more seve...
