We determined the prevalence and indicators of infection in intensive care unit (ICU) patients with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) by performing a retrospective analysis of 123 episodes of DKA (in 113 patients) managed in a medical ICU between 1990 and 1997. In univariate analysis, features associated with infection were female sex, neurological symptoms at admission, fever during the week before admission, a need for colloids, a high blood lactate level at admission, and lack of complete clearance of ketonuria within 12 h. Multivariate analysis identified 3 independent predictors of infection: female sex (odds ratio [OR], 2.31; confidence interval [CI], 1.05-5.35), neurological symptoms at admission (OR, 2.83; CI, 1.18-6.8), and lack of complete clearance of ketonuria within 12 h (OR, 3.73; CI, 1.58-9.09). Infection is the leading trigger of DKA in ICU patients. Neurological symptoms at admission and lack of complete clearance of ketonuria within 12 h are useful warning signals of infection.

Malnitrition-modulated diabetes mellitus ((MMDM) was previously known as protein-deficient diabetes mellitus (PDDM). Its clinical picture is similar to that of type 1 diabetes, but it develops over a background of chronic malnutrition from childhood. In spite of severe hyperglycemia, ketonuria never occurs. MMDM patients are extremely lean and require high doses of insulin-over 2.0 U/kg/day for good glycemic control. Even when optimally controlled, these patients maintain their leanness. Infections of the skin and soft tissues and pulmonary tuberculosis are often seen, whereas micro- and macrovascular complications are rare, even after long-term follow-up. Ultrasonographic evaluation of the abdomen clearly differentiates MMDM from fibrocalculous pancreatic diabetes. Absence of ketonuria and ketosis despite very severe hyperglycemia in emaciated young subjects is the most significant marker of MMDM.

A 39-year-old woman with hyperglycemia and ketonuria but with normal HbA1c level was diagnosed as having fulminant type 1 diabetes. The patient had 8-fold increase in the plasma titer of coxsackie B4 virus neutralizing antibody. Infection with coxsackie B4 virus was associated with fulminant type 1 diabetes.
