Journal Article
Twin Premature Infants With Riboflavin and Biotin Deficiency Presenting With Refractory Lactic Acidosis, Rash, and Multiorgan Failure During Prolonged Parenteral Nutrition
2023
Overview
We are reporting monochorionic, diamniotic twin premature infants born at 25 weeks and 6 days gestation with riboflavin (vitamin B2) and biotin (vitamin B7) deficiency, while on prolonged total parenteral nutrition (TPN) during vitamin shortage. They presented initially with skin rash, lactic acidosis, and thrombocytopenia. Both twins progressed to severe respiratory failure, severe lactic acidosis, with refractory vasodilatory shock, pancytopenia, ischemic bowel injury, acute kidney injury, liver injury, and capillary leak syndrome leading to death of twin A. The surviving twin B was diagnosed with riboflavin and biotin deficiency that presented with abnormal metabolic work up suggestive of maple syrup urine disease, glutaric acidemia type 2, and X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy. Twin B was started on riboflavin and biotin supplementation at 41 days of life, with rapid improvement in clinical findings and laboratory abnormalities within days of starting biotin and riboflavin supplementation. He was discharged home in stable condition at 49 weeks of postmenstrual age.
