Feeding infants with undiluted goat's milk can mimic tyrosinaemia type 1.
Undiluted goats milk should not be given to infants. High protein infant feeds are a forgotten cause of metabolic acidosis.


CONCLUSIONS
The metabolic abnormalities associated with goat's milk ingestion can cause a clinical picture very similar to tyrosinaemia type 1.
