Review Case Reports
Pseudo-Bartter's Syndrome in Patients with Cystic Fibrosis: A Case Series and Review of the Literature.
Pseudo-Bartter syndrome (PBS) is characterized by hyponatremic, hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis that mimics Bartter syndrome but with no pathology in the renal tubules. We present five patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and PBS. ⋯ PBS is one of CF complications, especially in infants and young children in situations accompanied by increased sweating and/or other causes of additional loss of sodium and chlorine. Sometimes, as was the case with one of our patients, PBS may be the initial presentation form of the disease.

Nevertheless, because of leishmaniasis re-emergence in the entire Mediterranean Basin, a comprehensive research of ecological and epidemiological characteristics of leishmaniasis, including better monitoring and notification system, is required.
