Abstract
Prevalence of Candida Infection in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Sari, North of Iran
Highlights
Candida species are the most important commensal yeasts on the skin and mucosal surfaces of the 20%-50% humans[1]
This study was designed to investigate the production of IgM, IgG and IgA antibodies against Candida albicans in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
There were no significant relationship between the level of antibodies and levels of total cholesterol, VLDL-C, LDL-C, triglyceride, glucose and HbA1c, P> 0.05
Summary
Candida species are the most important commensal yeasts on the skin and mucosal surfaces of the 20%-50% humans[1]. In order to evaluation of candidiasis, all studies have evaluated the Candida colonization in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and have provided different results[3,4,5]. Isolation of Candida species alone cannot confirm candidiasis[6]. These yeasts can colonize various sites of the body and it is very difficult to evaluate all these sites[7]. Evaluation of specific antibodies against Candida can confirm candidiasis in various sites of the body in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study was designed to investigate the production of IgM, IgG and IgA antibodies against Candida albicans in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
