“…In our study, when we compared the symptoms of UTI between diabetic and non-diabetic patients, we observed that diabetic patients had relatively higher fever and dysuria, while other symptoms were similar in both the groups. This is inconsistent with Garg study in 2015, according to which fever, dysuria, pain abdomen, vomiting, hematuria, storage, and voiding were significantly higher in the diabetic group compared to the non-diabetic group [23].…”

Introduction Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common in low socioeconomic country like Pakistan. There are various factors responsible for UTI, one major factor being diabetes. This study aims to compare diabetic and non-diabetic patients, for gender association, symptoms, and organisms, with UTI. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted in the medicine ward of tertiary care hospital in Pakistan from January 2019 to December 2019. For urine analysis, freshly voided 5-10 ml of clean midstream urine specimens was collected in a sterile container. Samples were sent to the lab immediately, A colony count of ≥10 5 CFU/ml was considered for the diagnosis of UTI. Culture was done if UTI was diagnosed. Results The overall incidence of UTI in participants of the diabetic group was significantly higher than those in the non-diabetic group (13.67% vs 6.40%; P=0.004). Escherichia coli was the most common organism in both the diabetic and non-diabetic groups (60% vs 72%; P=0.73). Frequency of Klebsiella was considerably higher in the participants of diabetes but it was not significant (23.3% vs 11.1%; P=0.29). Conclusion UTI was significantly higher in the diabetic population compared to the non-diabetic population. Since diabetes is prevalent in Pakistan, care of diabetes should include reducing the risk factors for UTI.

“…Studies associate the mortality rate with high leucocytes number, high serum creatinine levels and low plateles number. [24]. All our patients had high numbers of leucocytes, variable levels of creatinine, all greater than 1.4 mg/dL and the platelets were under the nomale range, but we could not corelate the values with the mortality rate, because we had only 2 patients who died, and statisticaly it is not relevant.…”

Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) is a severe, necrotizing infection of the renal parenchyma, produced by gas-forming Gram-negative bacilli. Even though only few cases are reported in the literature, the disease is not so rare and can become life-threatening if the diagnose is not quick and the therapeutic messures efficient. The biochemical analysis are the first line diagnostic, indicating the severity of the infection. The aim of our study was to to evaluate the importance of biochemical parameters, as first line diagnosis and also of the microbiological parameters, as etiologic diagnosis, in severe renal infections produced by gas forming bacili mainly in diabetic patients, predominantly women, with obstructive nephrolithiasis.

“…The predisposing factors were DM and usage of broad-spectrum antibiotics. Garg et al [286], in a one-year prospective single center study at Dayanand Medical College and Hospital, observed 151 diabetic and non-diabetic female patients diagnosed with UTIs. Uncontrolled diabetes was more commonly associated with severe UTIs like pyelonephritis and emphysematous pyelonephritis.…”

Candidiasis has increased substantially worldwide over recent decades and is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, especially among critically ill patients. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder that predisposes individuals to fungal infections, including those related to Candida sp., due to a immunosuppressive effect on the patient. This review aims to discuss the latest studies regarding the occurrence of candidiasis on DM patients and the pathophysiology and etiology associated with these co-morbidities. A comprehensive review of the literature was undertaken. PubMed, Scopus, Elsevier’s ScienceDirect, and Springer’s SpringerLink databases were searched using well-defined search terms. Predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied to classify relevant manuscripts. Results of the review show that DM patients have an increased susceptibility to Candida sp. infections which aggravates in the cases of uncontrolled hyperglycemia. The conclusion is that, for these patients, the hospitalization periods have increased and are commonly associated with the prolonged use of indwelling medical devices, which also increase the costs associated with disease management.
