An unusal case of hematemesis in a patient with type 1 diabetes mellitus

Journal Title: International Journal of Advances in Scientific Research - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 1

Abstract

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterised by hyperglycemia, with disturbances of carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism. Here is the report of an unusual case of hematemesis in a patient with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Hematemesis refers to vomiting of blood and can be explained as the backward flow of blood through the upper gastrointestinal tract. Hematemesis is an extremely serious condition that should be treated at the earliest. Diabetics are prone to opportunistic infections by Candida, which can range from oral candidiasis to oesophageal candidiasis. Oesophageal candidiasis causes erosion of the stomach and oesophageal wall which can lead to gastritis and hematemesis.
