RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To describe the association between acute choreoathetosis/ballismus and hypoglycemia related to pentamidine therapy in a patient with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. DESIGN: A single case report. MEASURES: Clinical observation, laboratory analysis of blood and cerebrospinal fluid, and magnetic resonance imaging of brain. RESULTS: No association was found apart from hypoglycemia. The abnormal movements and hypoglycemia did not recur following cessation of pentamidine. CONCLUSIONS: Hypoglycemia related to pentamidine therapy can cause neurologic disorders in patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
