| Popis: | Introduction Hypoglycemia in the patient without diabetes mellitus is uncommon. 1 An initial evaluation of hypoglycemia begins with confirming Whipple’s triad which includes: the presence of sympathoadrenal and neuroglycopenic symptoms, documented low plasma glucose concentration, and resolution of symptoms when plasma glucose is raised. 2 Hypoglycemia secondary to hydroxychloroquine previously has been documented in humans. 3,4 We describe a case of severe hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia in a patient initiated on hydroxychloroquine therapy. |
