Recurrent Hypoglycaemia and Seizures in an HIV-patient
Motsitsi, S. N. & East, S. C.
Abstract
A young male patient recently diagnosed with HIV presented to us with a septic
tibia. He developed recurrent seizures and hypoglycaemia. Terminally he developed
a clinical picture of Addison’s crisis and disseminated intravascular coagulation.
Addison’s crisis must always be borne in mind in patients with HIV who are
subjected to stressful conditions like surgery.
