Cystine calcium bladder calculus in a 2-year-old child.
We report on a 2-year-old child who presented with urinary tract infection and a large solitary bladder calculus. Dietary history indicated an intake of 2 gm. calcium with supplemental vitamin D daily. Urinary amino acid analysis revealed cystinuria. The high dietary intake of calcium and vitamin D may have precipitated early cystine calcium stone formation.
