Twenty patients with Tropical Pancreatic Diabetes (TPD) were evaluated by Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potentials (BAEP) in order to detect any possible subclinical involvement of auditory pathways. The latencies of BAEP Wave III (p < 0.009) and V (p < 0.47) as well as the Interpeak Latencies I-III (p < 0.002), and I-V (p < 0.019) were significantly prolonged in patients with TPD when compared to age and sex matched healthy volunteers. There was correlation between the abnormalities of BAEP and duration of diabetes (p < 0.006), male sex of patients (p < 0.05), and the presence of retinopathy (p < 0.003) and nephropathy (p < 0.38). There was no significant correlation with the age of the patients, type of treatment, blood sugar levels and presence of peripheral neuropathy. These changes suggest a subclinical involvement of the auditory pathways in TDP patients.
对20例热带胰腺性糖尿病（TPD）患者进行脑干听觉诱发电位（BAEP）评估，以检测听觉通路是否存在任何可能的亚临床受累情况。与年龄和性别匹配的健康志愿者相比，TPD患者的BAEP波III（p < 0.009）和波V（p < 0.47）的潜伏期以及峰间潜伏期I - III（p < 0.002）和I - V（p < 0.019）显著延长。BAEP异常与糖尿病病程（p < 0.006）、患者男性性别（p < 0.05）、视网膜病变的存在（p < 0.003）和肾病（p < 0.38）之间存在相关性。与患者年龄、治疗类型、血糖水平和周围神经病变的存在无显著相关性。这些变化提示TDP患者的听觉通路存在亚临床受累。
