The presence or absence of ketonuria associated with metabolic acidosis is the major clinical key to the diagnosis; when metabolic acidosis occurs with an anion gap within reference values and without hyperlacticacidemia or hypoglycemia, pyroglutamic aciduria is rarely diagnosed (1 case in 3 years from 1000 children) (6), and it may show early in life with constant, isolated metabolic acidosis.
