Overview

Urinary tract infection is an important infection in patients with diabetes mellitus. Asymptomatic and symptomatic infections of urinary tract, and also some rarer serious complications of urinary tract infections (papillary necrosis, renal and perirenal abscess, emphysematous and xantogranulomatous pyelonephritis and s.o.). Incidence, outcome and treatment in patients with diabetes, which deserve special clinical attention, are commonly viewed by prism of personal opinion, and should be based on clinical studies, focused on this topic.

Key words:
urinary tract infection - diabetes mellitus - complicated urinary tract infection - pyelonephritis - renal failure
