Article Synopsis
- Diabetes mellitus is a common metabolic disease that compromises immune function, making patients more susceptible to infections, especially when blood sugar levels are poorly controlled.
- A case study presented a 63-year-old woman with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes who developed community-acquired pneumonia and severe ocular complications, leading to hospitalization.
- The case emphasizes the need for early detection of infections in diabetic patients, particularly those with additional risk factors, and highlights the importance of evaluating ocular symptoms in these situations.
