Abstract

Monogenic diabetes mellitus (eg, Wolcott-Rallison syndrome) is a rare condition. It associates with neonatal or early-infancy insulin-dependent diabetes. We reported DKA in the four-month infant as the first presentation of monogenic diabetes that has accelerated by COVID-19 infection. Therefore, considering the concurrency of COVID-19 and DKA is crucial.

Keywords: Wolcott‐Rallison syndrome; coronavirus disease 2019; diabetic ketoacidosis; hyperglycemia; neonatal diabetes.
