Abstract
We describe a case of severe hyperglycaemia resulting in diabetic ketoacidosis secondary to L-asparaginase. There are few reports of this potentially life-threatening complication, particularly in the English literature. Awareness and recognition of this preventable and manageable problem will improve safe delivery of this anti-leukaemic drug.Entities:
