An eight-week-old infant with diarrhoea and dehydration became markedly alkalotic after administration of magnesium oxide powder. The literature does not substantiate the premise that significant magnesium deficiency may occur during acute
gastroenteritis
in an otherwise healthy infant. Physicians should be warned about this form of therapy as a possible cause of metabolic alkalosis. The possibility of congenital
alkalosis
with diarrhoea should be considered in differential diagnosis.

A case of neonatal Bartter syndrome is reported. The baby born pre-term following a pregnancy complicated by polyhydramnios, presented at 7 months of age with failure to thrive,
gastroenteritis
and facial dysmorphisms. An unusual feature was the absence of the classical biochemical abnormality of hypochloremic
alkalosis
early in the course of the disease. Metabolic acidosis was the initial manifestation at 5 weeks of age. Awareness of this presentation is important to avoid delay in diagnosis and treatment.
