diabetic ketoacidosis/protease

OBJECTIVE To describe a case of diabetes mellitus and diabetic ketoacidosis in a patient receiving protease inhibitor therapy and to describe the patient's response to treatment with metformin. METHODS A 49-year-old HIV-positive white man who was receiving indinavir, stavudine, and lamivudine for

Following the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), a number of metabolic and morphologic alterations, known as HIV-associated lipodystrophy syndrome (HALS), have been increasingly common in HIV-infected patients being treated with this therapy. The use of protease inhibitors

BACKGROUND Protease inhibitor therapy in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected adults has been associated with onset or aggravation of glucose intolerance. We report a case of a pregnant HIV-infected woman receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy who developed acute onset of severe

We report a case of acute pancreatitis with diabetic ketoacidosis associated with increased serum myoglobin concentration, acute renal failure, and disseminated intravascular coagulation. A 49-year-old man suffering from diarrhea, vomiting, and somnolence was admitted to the hospital. He had had

Antiretroviral drugs, especially protease inhibitors (PI), are known to induce disorders of lipid and glucose metabolism. However, there are only a few reports of these side effects in patients treated with integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTI). We encountered the case of a 46-year-old man

The medical treatment has an important role in patients with chronic pancreatitis. Pain is the most frequent symptom, at least in the initial phases of the disease. In about 60% of patients it can be successfully treated by medical therapy; in the remaining 40% it requires surgery. Malabsorption of

BACKGROUND Chronic pancreatitis often culminates in maldigestion and diabetes. Clinical management is complex as the correction of maldigestion often disturbs diabetic control. METHODS In the following study, we examined the effects of a potent new commercial pancreatic enzyme on food absorption and

BACKGROUND The orbital manifestations of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome(AIDS) are uncommon. OBJECTIVE To provide a review of orbital manifestations of AIDS, the predisposing factors, investigations, treatment and outcome. METHODS Meticulous and systematic literature search of Pubmed to identify
