Abstract
A 55-year-old Indian woman known to have diabetes mellitus for 10 years was transferred to a tertiary care hospital from a community hospital with a history of high grade fever for 1 week, decreased urine output for 3 days, and a 1-day history of altered sensorium. She had been treated at the community hospital for the past 2 days with intravenous crystalloids and antibiotics with no improvement in her symptoms.
