Neonatal Diabetes Mellitus Accompanied by Diabetic Ketoacidosis and Mimicking Neonatal Sepsis: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Neonatal diabetes mellitus (DM) develops within the first six weeks of life with basic findings including dehydration, hyperglycaemia, and mild or no ketonemia/ketonuria. It can be either transient or permanent. Here, we report a case of a one-month-old infant with permanent neonatal diabetes, due to pancreatic hypoplasia, accompanied by diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). The hyperglycaemia and ketoacidosis resolved by the 14(th) hour of treatment, consisting of IV insulin and rehydration. Subsequently, insulin treatment was continued with neutral protamine hagedorn (NPH) insulin. Breastfeeding was started and was continued at intervals of three hours. Following initiation of breastfeeding, the stools became watery, loose, yellow-green in color, and frequent (8-10 times a day). They contained no blood or mucus. Replacement of pancreatic enzymes resulted in decreased stool frequency. Neonatal DM due to pancreatic hypoplasia and associated with DKA may mimic sepsis and should be kept in mind in all newborns who present with fever, dehydration, and weight loss.

Hyperglycaemia‐related complications at the time of diagnosis can cause permanent neurological disability in children with neonatal diabetes
BACKGROUND Children with neonatal diabetes often present with diabetic ketoacidosis and hence are at risk of cerebral oedema and subsequent long-term neurological deficits. These complications are difficult to identify because neurological features can also occur as a result of the specific genetic aetiology causing neonatal diabetes. CASE REPORTS We report two cases of neonatal diabetes wher...

Context: Neonatal diabetes mellitus, a rare condition occurring in approximately 1 in 500 000 live births, is defined as insulin-requiring hyperglycemia presenting in the first months of life. Neonatal diabetes can be transient or permanent, with studies characterizing the condition as a monogenic disorder. Case Report: We describe a case of a 9-week-old infant with neonatal diabetes who presen...

متن کاملTransient neonatal diabetes due to a missense mutation (E227K) in the gene encoding the ATP-sensitive potassium channel (KCNJ11)
Neonatal diabetes is a monogenic form of diabetes. Herein, we report on a newborn presenting diabetic ketoacidosis at 17 days of life. A KCNJ11 mutation was identified. In such cases, insulin can be replaced by sulfonylurea with a successful metabolic control, as an example of how molecular diagnosis may influence the clinical management of the disorder.

Neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM) is a rare manifestation with an incidence of one affected individual among 400000 live births. NDM can be divided into Transient (TNDM) and Permanent (PNDM) types. A significant overlap occurs between both groups, to an extent that TNDM cannot be distinguished from PNDM based solely on clinical features. Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is the leading cause of morbid...
