The acetonemia or ketosis is a very common condition in childhood and is due to a momentary disturbance of the metabolism of the child who, after burning all the sugar available to the body begins to burn as alternative energy source also fats, thereby determining the increase in blood and urine ketone bodies (hyperketonemia) until it reaches levels toxic. In an attempt to reduce its concentration in the blood, the body begins to eliminate the urine acetoacetic acids and 3-hydroxy-butyric acid (can be detected in urine with the help of stick for detection of urinary ketones can be purchased at all pharmacies), and through the lungs, acetone: the latter, in contact with air, gives off the characteristic smell of ripe fruit. 
causes
Acetone and toned bodies that are due, in most cases, defects in food, particularly in response to a voltage too high in fat, but can also occur after prolonged fasting during the "stress" infectious fever that may provocare sia l'aumento della secrezione di ormoni che metabolizzano i grassi che il rifiuto del cibo; un'eccessiva assunzione di cibi troppo grassi, quali patatine fritte, cioccolata, fritti ecc.; in condizioni di carenza di insulina per il ruolo insostituibile di questo ormone nel trasporto del glucosio all'interno delle cellule dove avvengono i processi di produzione energetica (diabete); dopo uno sforzo fisico intenso e prolungato; stati di shock; malattie del fegato.
In casi ancor più rari l'acetone può essere provocato da fattori psichici, come un forte dispiacere, una continua preoccupazione, paura e rabbia e da difetti congeniti del metabolismo e avvelenamento da alcool etilico e salicilati.
I sintomi
The classic symptom is the characteristic odor of the food, that tastes like overripe fruit, and that was immediately noticed by parents. The gradual build up of ketones in the blood then causes a general feeling of discomfort with the onset of vomiting, stomachache, headache, lifelessness rimmed eyes, sharp face, a strong and intense coating (usually off-white to yellowish ) of the tongue, mucous membranes dehydrated, deep breath and frequent, until, in very rare cases, the appearance of altered consciousness. What do
To ensure that your child is suffering from acetone it is necessary to do a urine test. If this is positive, it will be good to submit it to a diet low in fatty foods (including milk and its derivatives) and full of sweet and fat-free foods (juices, tea, camomile, fruit juice, soft drinks without added gas) to be administered in small sips in case of vomiting. This will replenish its stocks of energy and the body to use as fuel takes up sugars: within 2 -3 days you will see the gradual reduction of ketones in the urine and the baby will feel completely recovered, so as to allow the refeeding which must, however, remain for several days in low-fat.
Prevention Crisis prevention of acetone is to eliminate or at least reduce the diet the little whole milk, yogurt, ice cream, butter, chocolate, biscuits, cakes, packaged snacks, red meats, cold cuts, sausages, eggs, cheese, fried foods, mayonnaise, sour cream and cream, but instead semi-skimmed milk or skim milk, yogurt, bread, biscuits, jam, honey, fruit, tea, chamomile, pasta, rice, meal, vegetable broth, white meats such as chicken, veal, rabbit, turkey, grilled or boiled fish, boiled vegetables of any kind, steamed or raw vegetables, olive oil, fruit, water and fruit juices.
