Abstract
Aims: To report a case of a neonatal diabetes mellitus observed in the Nouveau Village de Pédiatrie, Democratic Republic of Congo, between June 2014 and June 2018.
Cases Presentation: Neonate diabetes is a rare disease. It occurs to 1 newborn over 300000. Two forms are described: the transient and the definitive neonatal diabetes mellitus. We report a case of a male and term newborn, hospitalised for a neonatal infection, who had hyperglycemia. Therapeutic implications are discussed in the light of literature findings.
Conclusion: Neonatal diabetes is a rare phenomenon but alert signs must be known. Screening of blood glycemia disorders should be systematic in sick newborn for early detection and successful treatment.
