Abstrakt: Azotemia and diabetes mellitus are now well-known adverse reactions associated with Pentamidine treatment, especially since its prescription in case of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia. We report the case of a 2 year-old boy, treated for kala-azar with pentamidine and N-methyl glucamine antimoniate who developed adverse effects, characterized by a nephrotic syndrome associated with the classic acute tubular necrosis, and transient diabetes mellitus.
