A very unusual pattern of organic acid excretion was established in the urine of 2 premature newborns with severe respiratory distress and cerebral hemorrhages. By combined gas chromatography/mass spectrometry the following acids were identified: lactic acid, .alpha.-hydroxy-butyric acid, .beta.-hydroxy-butyric acid, .alpha.-hydroxy-isovaleric acid and p-hydroxy-phenyllactic acid. Calculation of the concentration revealed an excessive excretion of lactic acid and also very high excretion of the other acids. A post mortem blood sample from one of the patients revealed a comparable pattern. The abnormal urinary organic acid excretion pattern was most probably caused by severe tissue hypoxia.
