RESEARCH ON THE COMMON INFECTIONS IN DIABETIC PATIENTS
Abstract:
Numerous clinical studies show that morbidity due infections is higher in diabetics. Our study included 429 patients with diabetes mellitus, who also presented infections with different localizations. The most frequent were the urinary tract infections, followed by bacteriemia, soft tissue infections and pneumonia, with more reduced frequencies. The etiological spectrum of the urinary tract infections was dominated by E. coli (70,8 %), followed by Enterobacter sp. (19,5 %) and Proteus sp. (4,7 %). There have been involved, in a smaller percentage, other Gram negative germs, Gram positive cocci and yeasts. The most common germ involved in the systemic and soft tissue infections was S. aureus, followed by the germs of the Enterobacteriaceae family.
