  • Title: [Paralysis with hypokalemia by transfer, treated by acetazolamide].
    Author: Raphael JC, Simon N, Goulon M.
    Journal: Sem Hop; 1977 May 23; 53(20):1167-70. PubMed ID: 198890.
    Abstract:
    A case of familial paralysis with hypokalemia is presented. Acetazolamide at a dose of 500 mg daily prevents the onset of acute attacks. Under acetazolamide, an oral glucose tolerance test is not followed by hypokalemia. The association of glucose and insulin is unable to trigger off a paralytic attack although without acetazolamide, the same protocol had 5 months previously precipitated tetraplegia with hypokalemia. These results are compared with those in the literature.
