Implication

Case report demonstrates hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis in an infant, indicating the need for accurate diagnosis between congenital chloride diarrhea and Bartter syndrome.

Key Points

Hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis was observed in the infant with symptoms including diarrhea and vomiting, indicating serious health issues.
Genetic testing confirmed a homozygous SLC26A3 mutation, leading to congenital chloride diarrhea, which was initially misdiagnosed.
Diagnosis emphasized the importance of urine chloride levels despite hypochloremia, crucial for differentiating from Bartter syndrome.
Effective management through fluid and electrolyte replacement significantly improved the patient's growth and development, highlighting treatment importance.
