The expanding spectrum of disorders with elevated plasma chitotriosidase activity: an update.

Abstract
A striking elevation of plasma chitotriosidase activity, greater than 150 times the normal median value, was found in two galactosialidosis patients. Furthermore, increased plasma chitotriosidase activity, 10-53 times the normal median value, was also observed in fucosidosis, glycogen storage disease type IV, Alagille syndrome and hydrops fetalis due to congenital herpes virus infection.
