150 mg/ DL). A total of 1620 patients ranging from 3 days to 16 years were enrolled. Plasma glucose values ranged from 29 mg/ DL to 593 mg/ DL. 206 patients (12.7℅) had Hyperglycemia. The prevalence of stress Hyperglycemia was significantly higher among patients if they: 1. Were neonates and infants <2 year (20.22℅) versus older children 2_6 year ,(9.8℅), 6_12 year (3.25℅) and adolescents 12_16 year (5.1℅) ( p<0.001). 2. Had acut illnesses (27.2℅) versus more chronic disease (6.8℅) ( p<0.001). 3. Several dehydrated (75.9℅) versus not several dehydrated (10.4℅) ( p<0.001).4. had convulsions in their recent illness (29.7℅) versus not having convulsions (8.5℅) ( p<0.001). 5. Had vomiting and diarrhea in recent illness (40.3℅) versus not having vomiting and diarrhea (9.1℅) ( p<0.001). 6.
