To the Editor: Hyperglycemia has been associated
with the atypical antipsychotic agents clozapine and olanzapine,1
and a recent case report described diabetic ketoacidosis associated with olanzapine
in a pediatric patient.2 To gain further
insight into the association between hyperglycemia and these 2 drugs in the
pediatric population, we queried the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
MedWatch drug surveillance system to identify cases occurring in patients
younger than 19 years.
