Arch Argent Pediatr 2016;114(2):e91-e94 / e91Presentación de casos clínicos RESUMEN La cetoacidosis diabética en niños puede ser una causa de morbilidad grave y mortalidad, especialmente si no se reconoce en el momento del primer diagnóstico. Sin embargo, existen otras patologías que pueden aparentar una alteración metabólica de este tipo y pasarse por alto si no se tiene sospecha clínica. A continuación, se describe un caso clínico que presenta cetoacidosis hiperglicémica debido al contacto con organofosforado, en el cual fue necesario el uso de insulina en infusión continua para el control del trastorno metabólico, sin repercusiones después del alta. Palabras clave: compuestos organofosforados, acetilcolinesterasa, hiperglicemia, cetoacidosis, convulsiones.ABSTRACT Diabetic ketoacidosis in children causes serious morbidity and mortality, especially if it is not recognized on time in the initial diagnosis. However, there are other diseases that can appear to be a metabolic disorder of this kind and be ignored if it is not suspected. We present a clinical case with hyperglycemic ketoacidosis due to the contact with organophosphate; we had to use a continuous infusion of insulin to control the metabolic disorder without repercussions after the girl came home.
