Abstract
A 14-year-old girl with presymptomatic Wilson's disease was treated with D-penicillamine during seven years. A prompt effect with an increased urinary copper excretion was seen. The liver function tests were normalized. The girl is still asymptomatic seven years after the initiation of D-penicillamine treatment.
