  • Title: Transient elevation of sweat chloride concentration in a malnourished girl with the Mauriac syndrome.
    Author: Polack FP, Transue DJ, Belknap WM, Freij BJ, Aughton DJ.
    Journal: J Pediatr; 1995 Feb; 126(2):261-3. PubMed ID: 7844675.
    Abstract:
    Elevated sweat chloride concentration in a patient with Mauriac syndrome has been reported only once. The authors of that report regarded their patient's underlying malnutrition, and not Mauriac syndrome per se, as the cause of the elevated sweat chloride concentration. We describe a second example of transient elevation of sweat chloride concentration, which confirms that the malnutrition intrinsic to Mauriac syndrome, rather than the syndrome itself, was the probable cause of elevated sweat chloride values.
