Description
Meng Shi and co-authors report six infants with a rare gut lymph disease, in work published in 2026. The disease swells gut lymph vessels, which leak protein into the bowel. All six babies had chronic watery stools and body-wide swelling, proven by tissue checks. Four had fluid pooled in body cavities.
Four babies got well on a special fat formula within four weeks. Two did not, and only those two had low-calcium seizures and deep vessel spread on tissue checks. One needed long-term protein drips, and the other died three months in. A trio of signs marked the hard cases in this small set. The authors share a tiered care plan.
