    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Pediatrics
    • Metabolic Disorders

    Background:

    • Prolidase deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disorder affecting collagen metabolism.
    • It leads to characteristic skin, skeletal, and renal abnormalities.
    • Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for managing symptoms.

    Observation:

    • A four-year-old girl presented with clinical manifestations consistent with prolidase deficiency.
    • Biochemical analyses confirmed elevated imidodipeptidase levels.
    • The patient exhibited typical dermatological and developmental signs.

    Findings:

    • Treatment with L-proline, manganese, and ascorbic acid was initiated.
    • Significant improvements in clinical symptoms were observed post-treatment.

  • Biochemical markers showed normalization, indicating successful metabolic correction.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the efficacy of L-proline, manganese, and ascorbic acid supplementation in managing prolidase deficiency.
    • The findings suggest a potential therapeutic strategy for similar metabolic disorders.
    • Further research is warranted to elucidate the synergistic mechanisms of these supplements.
