Case report Here we report for the first time two patients with MKD revealed by a severe neonatal colitis. Both patients had chronic bloody diarrhea and failure to thrive, one patient since the age of one month and the other twelve days. Total parenteral nutrition was required. A marked elevation of acute phase reactants was present, and no evidence of infection was found. In patient 1, ileocol...
