Abstract

Hypophosphatemia is a seldom but potentially fatal complication of the nutritional recovery or refeeding syndrome in patients with protein-calorie malnutrition or starvation. We report here the case of a 35-year-old anorexic patient who presented a severe but uncomplicated hypophosphatemia during enteral refeeding, despite phosphorus supplementation. Serum phosphorus monitoring is recommended in severely malnourished anorexic patients, particularly during the first week of refeeding, be it parenteral or enteral.
