[Inflammation focal spots in uncontrolled diabetes].
During last few years we could observe systematic growth of diabetes sick rate. The purpose to be achieved in treating diabetes is to keep the glycemy on the level near to the glycemy of the healthy system. Sometimes we can not succeed in keeping target level of glycemy. Among many reasons leading to such conditions are infection and inflammation processes.


OBJECTIVE
Assess the rate of infection and inflammation processes among patients suffering from uncontrolled diabetes and its most frequent locations.


METHODS
68 patients suffering from uncontrolled diabetes treated in the Internal Disease Clinic in 2001-2002.


RESULTS
Among 68 cases examined, in 54 (79.4%) infection and inflammation process was found, where in half of the cases infection and inflammation process was found in more than one location. The most common locations were: pharyngeal and nasal cavity; larynx (51.5%) nasal sinus (32.4%), jaws (20.6%), urinary system (19.1%).


CONCLUSIONS
In most cases of uncontrolled diabetes inflammation focal spots could be found, half of them in more than one location. In case of patients suffering from uncontrolled diabetes it is fully justified to conduct obligatory tests aimed at identifying infection and inflammation processes in most common locations.
