Diabetes and genitourinary infection

Author(s): Bill Smith*

Diabetes is known to increase the risk of infection, the most frequent of which involve the genitourinary tract. Infections in diabetes patients are distinct in that they are recurring, more severe, necessitate hospitalisation, and have a higher death rate than nondiabetics. Some infections, such as emphysematous pyelonephritis, are only encountered in diabetics, whereas others have a convoluted natural history related to hyperglycemia. In diabetics, asymptomatic bacteriuria can develop to albuminuria and urinary tract infection and may require treatment. Not only do certain organisms have a preference for the diabetes patient's genitourinary tract. Because of the above, diabetes patients are more sensitive to infections, and prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential.
