Diabetic Ketoacidosis Triggered by Typhoid Fever in a Type II Diabetic
نویسنده
چکیده
Diabetic ketoacidosis is a complication that can be precipitated by infection in Type II, as well as Type I, diabetics. If an infectious etiology of the ketoacidosis is not actively sought and vigorously treated, a fatal outcome could be erroneously attributed to ketoacidosis rather than the infection. An unusual case of a 43-yearold woman with typhoid fever presenting as diabetic ketoacidosis is reported.
