Manifestations of chronic selenium deficiency in a child receiving total parenteral nutrition

CL Kien and HE Ganther

A child receiving total parenteral nutrition for about 1 1/2 yr developed intermittent leg muscle pain and tenderness and elevation in serum activities of glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, glutamic pyruvic transaminase, and creatine kinase. Approximately 6 months later he developed white fingernail beds. Detailed cardiological evaluation revealed no evidence of cardiac muscle cell damage despite markedly elevated serum activities of the MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase. Retrospective analyses of serum and 24 hr urine samples collected during this period demonstrated very low serum Se concentration (0.003 to 0.007 micrograms/g) and urine excretion (0.0 to 8.9 micrograms/day) Se. Intravenous Se supplementation (42 micrograms/day elemental Se as H2SeO3) and a prospective study of biochemical Se status were begun 33.5 months after initiation of total parenteral nutrition. Serum Se concentration and whole blood glutathione peroxidase activity and Se concentration were respectively 0.020 mu/g, 3.5 EU/g Hb, and 0.018 microgram/g, 1 month after intravenous Se therapy was started. These very low values increased after further Se therapy. Serum enzyme activities markedly improved and the fingernail bed abnormalities resolved after therapy.
