Hyper-glycemy is commonly described as a complication in patients affected by septic states, regardless of their having had diabetes. Numerous studies also record the presence of glyco-metabolic decompensations in patients affected by leukemia and lymphoma treated with chemotherapy. The case under study interesting and peculiar as there is no mention of glycemy levels so high to be not suitable for life. It is interesting also the patient's good therapeutical response, their marrow aplasia status and general poor health condition notwithstanding.
