Abstract A girl was presented suffering from generalised weakness and cardiorespiratory insufficiency. She succumbed at the age of 5 months. Lactate levels were elevated in serum, cerebrospinal fluid and urine. Histopathological examination revealed a mitochondrial myopathy. In muscle tissue the cytochrome oxydase activity was strongly reduced. The content of cytochromes b and aa3 was very low. At autopsy a cardiomyopathy was found.
