Article Synopsis
- Diazoxide is a medication used to treat hyperinsulinism, but it can cause hyperglycemia and in rare cases, a serious condition known as hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state (HHS).
- A case study describes a 2-year-old girl with Kabuki syndrome who developed HHS while on diazoxide, presenting with fever and lethargy, and confirmed as influenza B positive.
- After hospital treatment, which included stopping diazoxide and giving fluids, her hyperglycemia improved and she remained stable for 2 weeks before needing diazoxide again for hypoglycemia, highlighting the importance of quickly identifying and treating diazoxide-related HHS.
