[Wilson's disease].
A 17-year-old girl with haemolytic anaemia, parenchymal livel disease and gallbladder calculi, is reported. Kayser-Fleischer rings, transaminasaemia, deficiency of ceruloplasmin, increased cupriuria, and nodular cirrhosis of the liver, confirmed the diagnosis of Wilson's disease. Penicillamine therapy had to be interrupted a short time after it was started, because of penicillamine-induces acute psychotic episode. Zinc-sulphate has controlled Wilson's disease in the patient.
