Abstract
Hyperchloremia may reveal bromism during the neonatal period. The authors report on two cases of neonatal bromism. The first case concerns triplets without clinical signs although the children and their mother displayed hyperchloremia. In the other case a 6 week old infant displayed neurological abnormalities associated with hyperchloremia and elevated plasma bromide levels.
