Abstract
A case of hypomagnesaemia secondary to cisplatin therapy and diarrhoea had concomitant hypokalaemia. Increasing the serum potassium level from 2.8 to 3.4 mmol/litre by potassium supplementation induced tetany. Hypokalaemia in the face of hypomagnesaemia may have a membrane-stabilizing effect and preserve excitability.
