Hypoglycaemia and congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
We report the case history of a child with congenital adrenal hyperplasia which was complicated by recurrent hypoglycaemic episodes during common infections. There are few reports in literature on the association of hypoglycaemia and congenital adrenal hyperplasia. In accordance with others, we believe that hypoglycaemic attacks in adrenal hyperplasia are perhaps more frequent than recorded in literature.
