Cases Presentation: Neonate diabetes is a rare disease. It occurs to 1 newborn over 300000. Two forms are described: the transient and the definitive neonatal diabetes mellitus. We report a case of a male and term newborn, hospitalised for a neonatal infection, who had hyperglycemia. Therapeutic implications are discussed in the light of literature findings.
