✦ Synopsis

Sir: The report of Kaji et al. [I] on thirty-nine cases of what they term the Intragastro-intestinal Alcohol Fermentation Syndrome notes that, other than a newspaper reference, they could find no report of similar cases in the medical literature. However, in 1948 [2] the late Dr RG Ladkin and I reported the death of a five-year-old African boy in Uganda who died as a result of the fermentation in his stomach of a large meal of sweet potato (Ipomoea batates). The intragastric fermentation produced such quantities of gas and alcohol that his stomach literally exploded, resulting in chemical peritonitis. This boy had no overt evidence of yeast infection and the culture of the peritoneal fluid revealed a mixture of cocci and bacilli, which rapidly fermented carbohydrates in vitro producing much gas. The culture was ultimately lost.
