Abstract
- Autoimmune hypoglycemia is characterized by insulin autoantibody, hyperinsulinemia and fasting hypoglycemia without previous insulin immunization. Negative results on the anatomic studies of the pancreas and an inability to reproduce hypoglycemia during a prolonged fast may be helpful in excluding insulinoma. Autoimmune hypoglycemia is self-limited disorder. We recently experienced a case of autoimmune hypoglycemia in a patient with insulin antibody, and the patient was without previous insulin injection therapy or any evidence of insulinoma, during treatment with anti-tuberculosis drugs. We present this case along with a review of the literature.
