Everything in excess is opposed to nature, even vitamin D: a case report.

Summary: Vitamin D intoxication in children is rare but its incidence is increasing as vitamin D is supplemented more often and in higher doses. Children with cystic fibrosis (CF) are at risk for vitamin D intoxication due to incorrect compounded preparations of liposoluble vitamins. Here, we report a severe vitamin D intoxication in a 4-year-old girl with CF, due to an error in the compounded vitamin A, D, E, and K preparation, presenting clinically with weight loss, constipation, polydipsia, polyuria, and nycturia.

Early treatment of a child with NAGS deficiency using N-carbamyl glutamate results in a normal neurological outcome.

Acute hyperammonemia has a variety of etiologies and clinical manifestations. If not treated early in neonates, it leads to irreversible brain damage or death. We present a 7-day-old female patient who was brought to the emergency department with drownsiness and vomiting.
