Summary A case of congenital alkalosis with diarrhea has been described in a newborn male infant. The characteristic finding in the disease is the combination of persistent metabolic alkalosis and watery stools with a high concentration of chloride. The disorder was presumably present already during fetal life and manifested itself from the neonatal period. In spite of treatment the patient died when twelve months old.
