Abstract
We present three adolescents unknown to be G-6-PD deficient who develo ped haemolytic anaemia after admission for diabetes at onset uncomplic ated by ketoacidosis. These patients had no bacterial infections and h ad not ingested haemolytic drugs. The fall in glucose availability aft er the correction of hyperglycaemia is proposed as capable of inducing haemolysis in G-6-PD deficiency.
