dc.description.abstractCystic fibrosis has variable clinical presentations at different ages. We presenthere a-7-month-old boy admitted with vomiting, hypokalemia, hyponatremia,hypochloremia and metabolic alkalosis that corresponded to a pseudo-Barttersyndrome. He had been hospitalized twice because of vomiting of unknownorigin. A sweat test had already been performed and the result was normal.He had been admitted to our pediatrics unit for diagnostic work-up.Reevaluation of physical examination, serum electrolytes, blood gases andcystic fibrosis mutation analysis finally led to a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis. Weplanned to call the attention to the often disregarded message that vomitingmay be the only sign of cystic fibrosis. Sometimes invasive tests planned toinvestigate the etiology of vomiting should be postponed.en_US
