Mucopolysaccharidosis Type VI with Recurrent Chest Infection.

Mucopolysaccharidosis type VI (Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome) is a progressive multi-systemic autosomal recessive disease resulting from a deficiency of arylsulfatase B (N-acetylgalactosamine-4-sulfatase). Here we report the case of a three-year-old male child born full-term via normal vaginal delivery. He had frequent admissions due to a chest infection that started at two months of age.
