Congenital nephrotic syndrome masquerading as respiratory illness.

2008 
Congenital nephrotic syndrome is rare and is often found incidentally while investigating other disorders. The diagnosis is made by typical clinical features and laboratory tests in infants < 3 months of age. It may be inherited, sporadic, acquired, or associated with a syndrome. We present the case of a former premature infant with respiratory distress at 3 months of age who was subsequently diagnosed with Finnish-type congenital nephrotic syndrome resulting from an unusual mode of inheritance.
