Glycogen storage disease type I.

Glycogen storage diseases (GSD) are inherited autosomal recessive disorder.Type-IGSD(Von Gierkes disease) is due to glucose- 6-phosphatase defect, which mainly affects liver and is life threatening if not treated. The main features are fasting hypoglycemia, lactic acidosis, hyperuricemia and hyperlipidemia. Here we present a case of six month female baby who presented with fever, abdominal distension and on investigation biochemical parameters were suggestive of type-I GSD.
