AB Metabolic  emergencies  are  challenging  childhood  disorders,  often  presenting  with  nonspecific  signs  and  symptoms  that  may  mimic  more  common  conditions  such  as  sepsis.  Delay  in  accurate  diagnosis  can  lead  to  significant  morbidity  and  mortality,  whereas  early  aggressive  management  can  be  lifesaving  and  reduce  long-term  neurologic  sequelae.  Individually,  these  disorders  are  uncommon,  but  taken  together  as  an  entity,  they  are  likely  to  be  encountered  by  most  emergency  providers,  who  must  be  familiar  with  the  general  steps  to  facilitate  expedited  emergency  management.
