RESUMEN
Diabetic ketoacidosisis as a complication of L-asparaginase therapy in children with acute leukemia is rare. Hyperglycemia may occur in about 10% of cases receiving L-asp, which may present as mild glucose intolerance to severe hyperglycemia. We report two children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who developed diabetic ketoacidosis after treatment with L-asparaginase.
