Summary A patient is described who presented with the signs and symptoms of hereditary fructose intolerance a few hours after her first fructose challenge. The diagnosis was confirmed by the demonstration of reduced activity of hepatic aldolase B towards fructose‐1‐phosphate. A second liver biopsy 10 months later had normal aldolase B activity towards fructose‐1‐phosphate and a fructose tolerance test was also normal. A possible explanation for these findings is proposed.
