Background: Citrin deficiency is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder caused by SLC25A13 genetic mutations. Understandably, Neonatal Intrahepatic Cholestasis caused by Citrin Deficiency (NICCD) was one of its clinical phenotypes, usually occurred in the neonatal period or infancy. The effective treatment of dietary intervention and symptomatic support may provide an avenue for clinicians to reduce liver damage and improve clinical prognosis. Objective: We report a 5-month-old infant diagnosed with Neonatal Intrahepatic Cholestasis caused by Citrin Deficiency (NICCD), coexisting Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) infection. Method: The patient presented with rhinorrhea and cough, jaundiced skin and sclera, fat faces and hepatomegaly. Simultaneously, the child’s mother performed obvious anxious emotion. Infection control, nutrition management, and psychological guidance for the caregiver during hospitalization to discharge were achieved. Meanwhile, effective health education also plays a good role in these interventions. Result: After half a month, the patient’s infection was given controlled. Jaundice and hepatomegaly were improved gradually. Followeing up for 2 months, the clinical symptoms for NICCD were disappeared and the caregiver’s anxiety was alleviated effectively. The importance of follow-up and support longitudinally to improve the quality of life for patients is emphasized. Conclusion: Therefore, this study provided primary while valuable nursing care experience for NICCD with RSV infection patients.
