摘要
Objective: To describe the association between acute choreoathetosis/ballismus and hypoglycemia related to pentamidine therapy in a patient with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Design: A single case report. Measures: Clinical observation, laboratory analysis of blood and cerebrospinal fluid, and magnetic resonance imaging of brain. Results: No association was found apart from hypoglycemia. The abnormal movements and hypoglycemia did not recur following cessation of pentamidine. Conclusions: Hypoglycemia related to pentamidine therapy can cause neurologic disorders in patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
