The management and outcome of propionic and methylmalonic acidaemia

J V Leonard. J Inherit Metab Dis. 1995.

Abstract

The management of the severe variants of methylmalonic and propionic acidaemia remains difficult. With conventional therapy of diet, carnitine and antibiotics, mortality is high and long-term complications are common. Liver transplantation appears to be an important alternative.
