A patient with cardiomyopathy, severe hypoproteinemia and lymphocytopenia is described. Increased catabolic rate of plasma albumin and excessive intestinal protein loss were documented. In spite of the combined lymphocytopenia and hypoimmunoglobulinemia, the patient was not predisposed to infections. An outstanding feature in this patient is the unusually long duration of congestive heart failure.
