Abstract
A male infant with Menkes Kinky Hair Syndrome was treated with a 3-wk course of cupric acetate infusions, which was terminated when he developed aminoaciduria. The lack of improvement seen in this infant is representative of the reported experience with parenteral Cu therapy in this condition, and may be attributable to the presence of a clinically significant abnormality in Cu metabolism in utero.This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
