Question
Sir I have a newborn in my NICU who is now 6 days old. He had one episode of asymptomatic hypoglycemia which was corrected now. History of previous neonatal death to a consanguineous parents. urine metabolic screening positive for MPH(Hurler)is this hypoglycemia related to this? What is the neonatal outcome? IEM results awaited. What are differential diagnosis? please answer. Septic workup not contributory.
Answer
Is the child a preterm or IUGR? Both preterms and IUGR babies can have hypoglycemia without an IEM. Also why did you do urine for MPS so early in life? Usually MPS is suspected only around 1 year of age when storage has accumulated till then. More clinical details are needed to comment on the cause of hypoglycemia.
