"Shock Lung" Syndrome following Diabetic Ketoacidosis; Treatment with Heparin

A. Bernard Pleet M.D.1

1 Department of Medicine, U.S. Naval Hospital, Yokosuka, Japan

Following recovery from shock due to diabetic ketoacidosis, a 44-year-old man experienced respiratory distress with pulmonary infiltrates and disseminated intravascular coagulation. On two occasions heparin corrected the bleeding diathesis and led to clearing of the lungs. Death occurred from an intercurrent infection. At autopsy, the typical findings of "shock lung" were demonstrated.
