Non-diabetic ketoacidosis due tostarvation in a pregnant woman withdengue

Abstract

Non-diabetic ketoacidosis in pregnant women is a rare complication, but it is potentially serious and often difficult to diagnose because blood glucose levels are normal. We present the case of a pregnant woman in her second trimester with dengue infection. After initial management, she developed metabolic acidosis and ketonuria due to oral intolerance secondary to the viral infection. With adequate fluid therapy, the patient's clinical condition improved, supporting the diagnosis.
