چکیده
Discussion The administration of diazoxide to this patient has resulted in haemolysis on three occasions. On the first two of these, the fall in haemoglobin was of the order of 5-6 g over a time interval of about 6 weeks, and on the third 3-8 g in 2 weeks. In episode 2 the diazoxide was continued, and the haemoglobin was maintained at about 10 g in spite of this. Recovery followed the cessation of treatment and on a reduced maintenance dose, the blood picture has been satisfactory, showing only an occasional fragmented cell.
