Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is the most common, debilitating, chronic, attenuating endocrine disease that results in increased public health and clinical problems. Infectious diseases are more prevalent in individuals with diabetes mellitus. The risk of infection among diabetic patients appears to be independent of age, sex and co morbid conditions. Antimicrobial resistance is well-known clinical and public health problem. Beta-lactamase resistance has increased significantly being encountered in Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas species. A prospective observational study was conducted for a period of six months in a tertiary care teaching hospital, Palakkad. A data entry form was designed to collect the demographic data and laboratory investigations regarding the patient condition. Statistical analysis was then performed on the obtaining data using Microsoft excel programmer. The study showed a predominant of male gender (56%) and most common infection was SSTI (48%) followed by UTI (28%) and RTI (17%). Duration of 10-15 years of diabetes showed the highest rate of infections. Skin infections were associated with smoking. Cephalosporins were mostly prescribed (32%) and resistant (35%) antibiotic among study population. Staphylococcus aureus was the most common pathogen isolated (52%) in SSTI followed by E.Coli (75%) in UTI. The degree of infections rate was increased along with the dramatic increase in diabetic populations. SSTI and UTI are the more prevalent infections. Cephalosporins are the mostly prescribed and show high resistance towards the organisms.
