Abstract
Acute respiratory distress (ARDS) is a rare complication of diabetic ketoacidosis that markedly increases mortality. The pathogenesis of this entity is probably multifactorial and includes a rapid decrease of osmotic pressure and electrolyte changes occurring during treatment, especially hypophosphatemia. We describe the case of a middle-aged man with acute respiratory distress complicating diabetic ketoacidosis.
