Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a clinical syndrome associated with insufciency of insulin secretion and action. It is considered as one of the largest arising pitfalls to human health in this century. It is estimated that there will be roughly 380 million persons with DM in 2025. Besides the classical complications of the disease, DM has been related to reduced response of T cells, neutrophil function, and diseases of humoral immunity. Consequently, DM increases thevulnerability to infections, both the most common ones as well as those that nearly always affect only people with DM. Such infections, in addition to the complications associated with its infectivity, may also spark DM related complications such as hypoglycaemia and keto acidosis.
