Abstract
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is present in nearly half of all diabetic children and adolescents at diagnosis. The incidence is 4.6 to 8 cases/1000 diabetics per year. DKA is a major cause of mortality and morbidity, which can only be reduced by appropriate treatment. The present article describes the physiopathology and clinical manifestations of DKA and discusses the management of this entity.
