2. INTRODUCTION: Diabete mellitus is a complex chronic disease PANDEMY!!! Particularities of the diabetic’s infection: It’s frequency Subjects to infections Metabolic failure’s risk diagnosis and therapeutics' difficulties The aim of our study is: To determine: clinical and therapeutical aspects acute infection’s and their evolution in our patients Evaluate the quality of treatment in our Moroccan context.

3. MATERIAL & METHODS(1) retro-prospective study 100 diabetic patients hospitalized in our department during two years from January 2005 to December 2006. Hospitalisation reason: - Unstable Glycaemia - ketosis failure. The parameters we studied:  anthropometric Criteria  The localisation of infection  Glycaemia balance  Metabolic repercussions  Treatment  Evolution

4. MATERIAL & METHODS(2) The female ratio is predominant; with sex. ratio = 3 Age rate = 44,05 years +/-15.6.

5. RESULTS (1) Infectious episode was found in 75% of diabetics All patients (100%) were hyperglycaemic during the episode of the infection : Fasting glucose rate= 2.52 g/l +/- 1.32 HbA1c average = 9.4% +/- 2.07.

6. RESULTS (2) Infection was found in:

7. RESULTS (3) The localisation of infections cutaneous 42,66% Urinary 30,66% ORL 10,35% Genital 9,33% Broncho pulmon. 7%

8. RESULTS (4) Treatment and evolution Antibiotics Prescription: Favourable evolution for 98.60 % of our patients Estimated on the clinical & biological criteria and the regression of the metabolic trouble. One case of recurrence of the cutaneous abscess one week after being discharged. After antibiogramUnknown antibiogram 2.67%97.33%

9. DISCUSSION Cutaneous infection (1) The diabetic infections prevalence according to international series ( 20 – 35% ) : under estimated prevalence because (*): There isn’t enough motivation for consultation Treated in dermatology department (*)S.

10. Cutaneous infection(2) - our study- +++ mycosic infections (87 %): Intertrigo Onychomycosis Mycosis the mycological taking of nails was made only in one case. Bacterial infections : 13% 2 erysipelas 2 abscess germs in cause were not identified (the pyoculture wasn’t decisive in both cases of abscess).

11. Urinary infection (1): 20 to 40% of diabetic infections : The cytobacteriological trial was decisive only in 20 % of the patients presenting urinary signs, while it found germs in cause in 60 % of the cases for the others series* *M.

13. Broncho-pulmonary infection: Represents only 7% of the infections in our serie: +++ non specifical germs. No case of pulmonary tuberculosis infection, versus 36% in other series(*). M.

14. Others infections : ORL’s infection : Rare: 5 à 15% depending on the series(*) Our serie: 10% Otitis (5 cas)+++, sinusitis (3 cas). Genital infection +++ 9% (4-6%)*.

15. CONCLUSION  The infection remains among the most frequent acute complications of the diabetes. It is specially represented by :  the urinary and cutaneous localisations found in the badly equilibrated diabetes.  These infections should be watched closely end regularely by :  Trying hard to identify the germs in cause  educating the patient and his relatives to avoid the acute metabolic failure  to assure a more rational care.
