“…Hyperglycemia and diabetes are important factors causing impairment in neutrophil functions and facilitating the development of infection [24] . Besides, autonomic neuropathy in diabetic patients causes an increase in the residual urinary volume and predisposes to infections.…”

Objective: Prostate biopsy for the diagnosis of prostate cancer by transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) is a common procedure used in daily urology practice with a low complication rate and easy applicability. In this study, the precipitating factors and prophylaxis for sepsis, the worst complication of the procedure, were assessed. Patients and Methods: 2,023 patients with suspected prostate cancer who underwent biopsy by TRUS in one center were assessed retrospectively. The relationship between sepsis and age, serum total prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level, PSA density, prostate volume, number of biopsies, number of repeated biopsies, accompanying diagnosis of prostatitis, presence of urethral catheter, and presence of diabetes mellitus was assessed. Data were analyzed using the t test and logistic regression analysis. Results: Of the 2,023 patients, 62 (3.06%) developed sepsis within 5 days after biopsy. There was no significant relationship between the biopsy and the above parameters using the logistic regression analysis. Using the t test, it was found that the number of biopsy cores (p < 0.001), presence of urethral catheter (p < 0.0001), and presence of diabetes mellitus (p < 0.0001) were predictive factors for sepsis. Conclusion: Sepsis is a rare but life-threatening complication after prostate biopsy by TRUS. Although preoperative prophylactic oral antibiotics and enema before biopsy have proven to be effective in decreasing urinary tract infection rates, patients with urethral catheter, diabetes mellitus or those to undergo biopsy from more sites than ten cores should be closely monitored after biopsy.

“…9 In non-HIV immune suppression (e.g., from cancer chemotherapy, prolonged steroid treatment of connective tissue disorders, post-transplantation therapy, or poorly controlled diabetes), this disease risk is still substantial but generally not as wellcharacterized in the literature. [10][11][12] To contribute to this latter gap in the literature, we conducted a multipart study using the national multiple cause of death (MCD) dataset from 2000 to 2010: (part 1) quantification and trend analysis of toxoplasmosis mortality in the United States, (part 2) a matched case-control analysis matching associated medical conditions to disease cases and (part 3) a cost analysis to enumerate the cumulative productivity losses attributed to pre-mature death from this zoonosis during the 11-year study period. The analysis complements emerging research showing disparities in the number of toxoplasmosis hospitalizations by HIV status.…”

Abstract. Few studies have quantified toxoplasmosis mortality, associated medical conditions, and productivity losses in the United States. We examined national multiple cause of death data and estimated productivity losses caused by toxoplasmosis during 2000-2010. A matched case-control analysis examined associations between comorbid medical conditions and toxoplasmosis deaths. In total, 789 toxoplasmosis deaths were identified during the 11-year study period. Blacks and Hispanics had the highest toxoplasmosis mortality compared with whites. Several medical conditions were associated with toxoplasmosis deaths, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), lymphoma, leukemia, and connective tissue disorders. The number of toxoplasmosis deaths with an HIV codiagnosis declined from 2000 to 2010; the numbers without such a codiagnosis remained static. Cumulative disease-related productivity losses for the 11-year period were nearly $815 million. Although toxoplasmosis mortality has declined in the last decade, the infection remains costly and is an important cause of preventable death among non-HIV subgroups.

“…A review showed that insulin use is even not a predictor for the occurrence of UTIs [15]. Patients who are using insulin are likely to have their diabetes less well regulated, but diabetes regulation is not related to the occurrence of infections, unless the regulation is very bad [4,20]. Nevertheless, these findings are in contrast with studies on risk factors for UTIs in postmenopausal women [2,3].…”
