title: Severe hyperglycemic hyperosmolar nonketotic coma in a nondiabetic patient receiving aripiprazole.
abstract: Aripiprazole is commonly used as an atypical antipsychotic. It has been associated with abnormalities in glucose metabolism. Severe diabetic complications associated with its use occur rarely. We present a case of a patient without a history of diabetes mellitus who presented to the emergency department in severe hyperosmolar nonketotic coma while using aripiprazole.
