Résumé
We report a case of lactation ketoacidosis in a 22-year-old female who was breastfeeding two infants while dieting. She appeared non-toxic, but had a serum bicarbonate of 7meq/L, a pH of 7.07, and moderate serum ketones. She responded well to simple carbohydrate replenishment and brief cessation of breastfeeding. Emergency Physicians should be aware of this entity so as to avoid unnecessary morbidity and to begin prompt treatment.
