A 21 yr old woman with viral meningitis was treated parenterally with fructose-containing solutions. A dramatic clinical picture developed consisting of an acute icterus, complicated by severe gastrointestinal hemorrhagic episodes, hypoglycemia and a pronounced proximal tubular acidosis. A syndrome of disseminated intravascular coagulation was documented. The presence of a Fanconi syndrome characterized by an important bicarbonaturia, glycosuria, aminoaciduria and a markedly decreased phosphate reabsorption led to the correct diagnosis of a previously unknown hereditary fructose intolerance. All symptoms of the Fanconi syndrome disappeared within 48 h after the i.v. administration of fructose was stopped. The hepatic dysfunction lasted for 3 mo. After recovery, a decreased liver fructose-1-phosphate-aldolase was found. An i.v. fructose tolerance test was performed: within 60 min after initiation of the fructose infusion, plasma bicarbonate ion .**GRAPHIC**. decreased from 25 to 14 meq/l and the urinary .**GRAPHIC**. excretion increased from 10 to 111 .mu.eq/min. Plasma phosphate decreased from 4.4 to 2.6 mg/100 ml, concomitantly with an increase in renal phosphate clearance from 9 to 20 ml/min. Both plasma uric acid and urinary acid excretion increased from 3.2 to 6.7 mg/100 ml and from 0.3 to 1.98 mg/min, respectively. Plasma parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels remained unchanged whereas the urinary cyclic AMP excretion decreased during fructose administration. Biochemical evidence of hepatic dysfunction was present. All parameters normalized within 3 h after withdrawal of the fructose. This exceptional case illustrates that routine administration of fructose-containing solutions can provoke a dramatic clinical situation in patients with unknown hereditary fructose intolerance. The occurrence of a proximal tubular acidosis may warn of this disorders existence.
