    Author: Elmas ÖN, Akıncı A, Bilir P.
    Journal: J Clin Res Pediatr Endocrinol; 2011; 3(4):222-4. PubMed ID: 22155468.
    Abstract:
    Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a life-threatening acute complication of type 1 diabetes mellitus. Infections are the leading cause of DKA, but trauma, myocardial infarction, or surgery may also precipitate this condition. In patients with DKA, although cerebral edema is the most common cause of neurological symptoms, other possibilities such as meningitis or encephalitis should also be considered. Herein, we present the case of an 8-year-old girl with DKA and tuberculous meningitis.
