Abstract
A 50-day-old infant diagnosed as meningitis had persistently elevated serum potassium, low serum bicarbonate and normal serum sodium. She had metabolic acidosis with low TTKG, low serum renin and low normal serum aldosterone with no renal failure or extra renal causes of hyperkalemia. Hence a diagnosis of Type II pseudo-hypoaldosteronism was made. She was started on oral thiazide following which her serum electrolytes normalized.
