After her first grand mal seizure a 30-year-old woman was given a fructose infusion by an emergency doctor. On admission to hospital she complained of severe nausea. Ultrasonography revealed hepatosplenomegaly and the gamma-GT concentration was raised to 25 U/l. As hyperinsulinism was suspected an oral glucose tolerance test was suggested, but refused by the patient. She reported marked aversion to all sweet foods. Examination of an endoscopically obtained liver biopsy revealed clear reduction in fructoaldolase activity in liver tissue, i.e. the diagnosis of hereditary fructose intolerance. Three of the patient's siblings were also affected. The widespread use of infusion solutions containing sorbitol and fructose has twice proved acutely hazardous in this patient and is generally life-threatening for persons with an inborn error of metabolism whose pathologic status often remains undiagnosed to an adult age.

Four patients had trichinosis after consuming raw home-butchered pork. The patients had fever, myalgias, periorbital edema, and conjunctivitis. All of the patients had nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea (corresponding to the intestinal phase of the infection) seven to ten days before the onset of fever and myalgias. Laboratory findings included eosinophilia, elevated serum CPK and aldolase values, and seroconversion of Trichinella serology one month after onset of myalgias. The patients were treated with mebendazole and prednisone and recovered uneventfully.

A 22-year-old man developed transient unconsciousness during running. He developed fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and general fatigue. Next day, he was admitted to National Hospital Nayoro because of high serum CK level of 13,610U/l. Biochemical analyses revealed elevated serum myoglobin, increased CK-MM isozyme, aldolase and lactate dehydrogenase, increased serum osmolality, increased uric acid, and decreased serum potassium levels. Therefore, he was diagnosed as having rhabdomyolysis. In addition, serum CK-MB isozyme, cardiac myosin light chain I and troponin T were increased, suggesting the damage of cardiac muscle. Electrocardiogram showed elevated ST segment and inverted T on V2-4, which were not observed previously. He had no preceding infectious disease, drug ingestion or an underlying metabolic disorder. The rhabdomyolysis may be precipitated by the superimposition of dehydration and loss of potassium due to diarrhea and vomiting. The myocardial injury, probably produced by transient myocardial ischemia, should be paid attention in case of rhabdomyolysis.
