Sammanfattning
Newborn children normally lose up to 10% of their birth weight during the first week of life. With greater weight loss one must consider low intake and pathological losses. We describe a 6-day-old girl with nearly 19% weight loss and hypertonic dehydration caused by hypogalactia. Principles for treatment of hypertonic dehydration and strategies for finding these children are discussed.
