A young woman presented with a short history of fatigue and confusion. Investigation showed that she was hypoglycaemic with a metabolic acidosis due to acute monocytic leukaemia. She died before specific treatment could be given for her leukaemia, but illustrates some of the problems in treating the metabolic complications of neoplastic disease.
一名年轻女性因疲劳和意识模糊就诊,病史较短。检查发现她因急性单核细胞白血病而出现低血糖和代谢性酸中毒。在针对其白血病给予特异性治疗之前,她就去世了,但这例病例说明了在治疗肿瘤性疾病代谢并发症方面存在的一些问题。
