  • Title: Severe hypomagnesemia associated with pentamidine therapy.
    Author: Gradon JD, Fricchione L, Sepkowitz D.
    Journal: Rev Infect Dis; 1991; 13(3):511-2. PubMed ID: 1866558.
    Abstract:
    A case of severe hypomagnesemia in a patient with AIDS that manifested as changes in mental status is presented. The hypomagnesemia was due to renal wasting of magnesium, most probably caused by pentamidine-induced renal tubular injury. This entity has been reported once before and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of altered mental status in patients with AIDS.
