[Salt-losing syndrome in newborn infants with hyperaldosteronism. Presenting a sensitivity to mineralocorticoids. Pseudohypoaldosteronism].

A case of salt-loosing syndrome in infancy with hyperaldosteronism is reported. This patient was given high doses of 9 alpha Fluorocortisol (0.1 mg/kg/24 h), together with salt supplements. This treatment corrected the abnormality, while higher doses of salt supplements without such large amounts of Flurocortisol were ineffective.
