Medical professionals at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine discovered that a woman had a rare condition called auto-brewery syndrome.
Doctors tried to treat a woman with liver cirrhosis for alcohol-use disorder when she came in looking for a liver transplant after results showed her urine was full of alcohol.Medical professionals at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine discovered that the 61-year-old woman wasn’t trying to hide an alcohol-use disorder but had a rare medical condition called auto-brewery syndrome, or ABS.
Traditional ABS causes the carbohydrates one ingests to turn into alcohol, fermented by fungi or bacteria in the gastrointestinal system. Cases were first documented in Japan in the 1970s, then in the USA 10 years later, according to researchers. Doctors noted that no standard exists for diagnosing and treating gut fermentation syndrome, but a combination of “dietary modifications, appropriate antifungal therapy and possibly probiotics” should be studied as a possible treatment.
