Abstract
The article presents a case study of a two-month-old female infant with a history of gastroesophageal reflux, poor growth, and food protein–induced allergic proctocolitis. The patient was admitted to the emergency department with symptoms of copious diarrhea, emesis, fever, and signs of dehydration. It informs that despite improvements in her clinical condition, persistent lactic acidosis prompted further investigation, revealing secondary carnitine deficiency as the underlying cause.
