Sudden death in cystinosis.
We report on an 8-year-old boy with infantile cystinosis. The patient died in hospital for unknown reason after cardiopulmonary arrest although resuscitation was started immediately. As opposed to other cases [1-3], neither laboratory investigations nor autopsy in out patient gave an explanation for the sudden death.
