A 6 month old child presenting with seizures was found to be hypoglycaemic secondary to hyperinsulinism. A family history of type II diabetes prompted estimation of sulphonylurea in the baby's blood, which was found to be high. A multidisciplinary case conference concluded that the sulphonylurea ingestion was likely to be the result of Munchausen syndrome by proxy. When investigating hypoglycaemia of infancy this possibility should be considered.
一名6个月大的儿童因癫痫发作就诊,发现是由高胰岛素血症继发的低血糖。其家族中有2型糖尿病病史,促使对婴儿血液中的磺脲类药物进行检测,结果发现含量很高。多学科病例讨论会得出结论,摄入磺脲类药物很可能是代理型孟乔森综合征的结果。在调查婴儿低血糖时,应考虑到这种可能性。
