Apparent resolution of type 2 diabetes mellitus after initiation of potent antiretroviral therapy in a man from Africa with HIV infection.
We describe a 52-year-old African man with human immunodeficiency virus infection and type 2 diabetes mellitus whose diabetes resolved as viral replication was suppressed with protease inhibitor-based antiretroviral therapy. This case suggests that human immunodeficiency virus infection itself can precipitate overt diabetes mellitus.
