Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
There are a number of cases reported in the literature which describe hyperglycaemia in patients following paracetamol overdose. The majority of these occur in conjunction with hepatic failure. Less well known is the occurrence of hyperglycaemia and acidosis following paracetamol overdose in the absence of hepatic failure. This report describes such a case which was initially misdiagnosed as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). |
