摘要: We report two cases of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) which developed after interferon (IFN) therapy for chronic hepatitis C. The patients had experienced abrupt hyperglycemia with positive anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies, resulting in initiation insulin therapy. In one case, could be discontinued because endogenous secretion was preserved at the onset and pancreatic β cell function recovered thereafter. other case Hashimoto's thyroiditis Sjogren's syndrome, continuation necessary blood glucose levels were unstably controlled. Lasting autoimmunity superior to immunosuppressive mechanism may associated distinct clinical courses these cases.
