[Unusually long post-initial remission in case of steroid-diabetes (author's transl)].
The case of a girl, aged 12, is reported, in whom for juvenile rheumatoid arthritis--concomitant with uveitis--a short steroid treatment was performed. After steroid treatment the diabetes became with the symptoms of a diabetic coma manifest. After the beginning of the insulin administration an unusually long remission period followed,--therefore the insulin was temporarily stopped. On the basis of the known relationship between the juvenile diabetes and autoimmune diseases it is advisable--before the beginning of steroid treatment of auto-immune diseases--to perform intensive sugar metabolism examinations (glucose tolerance test).
