Infections in diabetes
Abstract
Diabetics are predisposed to infections because of various immune deficiencies, including neutrophil and monocyte dysfunction. Some of these immune deficiencies are improved by tight glucose control. This article is a review of the immune deficiencies seen in diabetes and an overview of selected infections that are commonly or predominantly seen in diabetics.
