Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a major health problem with increasing numbers. Globally, it has been estimated that the prevalence of DM among all age groups is about 2.8% in the year 2000 and will reach up to 4.4% by the year 2030. In developing and underdeveloped countries, the prevalence will rise from 4.2% to 5.6%.

Results: Among 200 cases 56% cases were male rest were female. Out of 200 cases 118 cases are infective and 82 cases are non-infective. In this study we studied 61.1% cases of fungal infection followed by 30.5% bacterial cases, 6.7% of viral cases & 1.6% cases of parasitic infection.
