title: Transient hyperphosphatasemia of infancy.
abstract: Six patients with transient hyperphosphatasemia of infancy (THI) are described and compared to similar cases reported in the literature. THI appears to be more common than usually thought and may occur in healthy children as well as in patients with various clinical disorders. The evolution of such children seems uniformly normal. Invasive diagnostic procedures should therefore be avoided in this benign condition.
