  Case 2 (personal communication) 20 An 11 year old girl with MELAS had persistent lactic acidosis (venous blood lactate ∼5 mmol/l), growth retardation, muscular fatigue, and frequent bouts of acid-base decompensation requiring hospitalisation. [adc.bmj.com]

  Symptoms: Seizures, hypotonia, fatigue, nystagmus, poor reflexes, eating & swallowing difficulties, breathing problems, poor motor function, ataxia. [umdf.org]

• Tachypnea

  Symptoms in the neonatal period include hypotonia, lethargy, vomiting, and tachypnea. [en.wikipedia.org]

  Severe hypotension, oliguria or aneuria, deteriorating mental status, and tachypnea always are present when the cause of lactic acidosis is tissue hypoxemia. [odlarmed.com]

  In some children (especially those with a severe enzyme defect), symptoms of congenital lactic acidosis develop within the first hours or days of life and may include loss of muscle tone (hypotonia), lethargy, vomiting and abnormally rapid breathing (tachypnea [rarediseases.org]

  The development of lactic acidosis depends on the magnitude of hyperlactatemia, the buffering capacity of the body, and the coexistence of other conditions that produce tachypnea and alkalosis (eg, liver disease, sepsis). [emedicine.medscape.com]

  Lactic acidosis is characterised by low pH in body tissues and blood and build up of lactate, which causes a host of symptoms including tachycardia, nausea and abdominal pain. [medicalxpress.com]

  Added to this are gastroparesis, constipation, vomiting, and intermittent diarrhea with abdominal pain. Many individuals develop diverticulosis and diverticulitis that may lead to intestinal perforations. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

  The diagnosis was made at the age of 50 in a woman who presented a life-long history of aversion to sugary foods (nausea, vomiting, diffuse abdominal pain and hypoglycaemic symptoms, even after the smallest amount of sugar or fruit) [ 25 ]. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]

  In mild cases the symptoms may be overlooked; in severe cases symptoms are more obvious and may include muscle twitching, involuntary movement, cardiac arrhythmias, disorientation, and coma. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

• Hyperlactacidemia

  Hyperlactacidemia was associated with dramatic increase in lactate/pyruvate ratio, without anoxia, in contrast with decreased beta hydroxybutyrate/acetoacetate ratio. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

[edit] There is no proven treatment for congenital lactic acidosis. [en.wikipedia.org]

Therefore, DCA therapy may be useful in treatment of chronic congenital lactic acidosis if this treatment is started sufficiently early. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Conventional treatment Treatment of most patients with CLA has been uniquely disappointing and has been approached in a sporadic, uncontrolled manner. [adc.bmj.com]

Congenital lactic acidosis presents in the newborn period, usually in a symptomatic infant (hypotonia, weakness, respiratory failure), and has a poor prognosis. [jnpm.org]

Prognosis In the neonatal form, the prognosis is very poor. In other patients, life expectancy is often less than 5 years due to severe episodes of acidosis. The documents contained in this web site are presented for information purposes only. [orpha.net]

However, in many cases of type B lactic acidosis, occult tissue hypoperfusion is now recognized to accompany the primary etiology. Type B is divided into 3 subtypes based on underlying etiology. [emedicine.medscape.com]
