Wilson's Disease in Thai Children between 2000 and 2012 at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital.
CONCLUSION: WD in children mostly affected the liver WD was suspected in seven patients (34%), thus needed further investigation. Therefore, long-term follow-up in those with suspected WD is the appropriate method for diagnosis and management in limited diagnostic tests. We suggest further treatment, and use of clinical response to treatment, as a criterion for confirming the WD diagnosis.
