Abstract:
Several studies have documented that various agents can induce diabetes mellitus, such as steroids, thiazides, anti-psychotic agents, and anti-viral agents. Many antiviral agents are also reported to impair insulin resistance and induce diabetes mellitus in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). However, there are no reports of diabetes mellitus induced by clevudine, one of the antiviral agents used to treat chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. We report a case of diabetes mellitus induced by clevudine in a patient with chronic hepatitis B.
