Abstract

Here we report a severe life-threatening complication of treatment with streptozotocin in a patient with pancreatic island-cell carcinoma. The patient was admitted to the intensive care unit with severe diabetic ketoacidosis which needed aggressive fluid resuscitation and insulin therapy. We believe it is critical to be aware of the symptoms of diabetic ketoacidosis and monitor glucose levels during streptozotocin treatment
