Tandem mass spectrometry was adopted for newborn screening by North Carolina in April 1999. Since then, three infants with short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (SCAD) and one with isobutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency were detected on the basis of elevated butyrylcarnitine/isobutyrylcarnitine (C4-carnitine) concentrations in

Here we report on a patient with severe ("non-classic") carnitine palmitoyltransferase type II (CPT II) deficiency. Hypoglycemia prompted by an infectious episode and associated with non-ketotic dicarboxylic aciduria orientated diagnosis towards beta-oxidation deficiency disorders.
