Clinical signs of hypoglycemia developed in a 3frac12-year-old boy 24 hours after he had eaten some of the attractively blue-colored chlorpropamide tablets. Low blood sugar values persisted for 4 days after the ingestion concomitant with an increase in serum insulin concentration. On the fifth day, the blood sugar rose to normal levels. The serum insulin concentration was not significantly out of the normal ranges on each of the four follow-up examinations.
