Abstract
This is the first report in the American literature of a patient with a deficiency of gastrointestinal absorption of glucose and galactose. The disease is characterized by severe, chronic, watery diarrhea starting soon after birth. Marked improvement occurs following the substitution of the offending sugars by fructose. The disease is probably inherited through an autosomal recessive mode.
