Abstract:
Necrolytic migratory erythema (NME) is a rare cutaneous finding characterized by painful, pruritic, scaly red patches and plaques, bullae, and superficial erosions. Typically NME is a paraneoplastic phenomenon associated with glucagonoma. We report the exceptional case of an infant who developed iatrogenic NME arising secondary to glucagon therapy for congenital hyperinsulinism.

Diabetes Mellitus: Overview and Type I Subtype
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. As a result, the body is unable to produce sufficient insulin, and individuals with...

Pathophysiology of Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility,...
