- Abstract
- Diabetic ketoacidosis as the most severe acute metabolic complication of diabetes mellitus, may herald the onset of type 1 diabetes but most often occurs in established diabetic patients as a result of intercurrent illness (e.g., infection), an inappropriate reduction in insulin dosage, or missed insulin injections. Diabetics are more prone to infections than non-diabetics and infection is the most common precipitant of diabetic ketoacidosis. Infection such as pneumonia, urinary tract infection, gastroenteritis and sepsis, is believed to precipitate episodes of diabetic ketoacidosis. We report two cases of diabetic ketoacidosis precipitated by pyogenic liver abscess caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae.(Korean J Med 69:S861-S866, 2005)
Keywords :Diabetic ketoacidosis, Liver abscess, Klebsiella pneumoniae
