Abstract

Objective: To assess the spectrum of different microorganism causing community
acquired pneumonia in diabetic and non-diabetic.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. A total of 275 patients were included
in the study. Adults aged 20 years or older (<80 years), diabetic patients and nondiabetic
patients with community acquired pneumonia were included in the study.
Sputum and blood culture analysis was done.
Results: The prevalence of diabetes was found to be in 37.1% patients. AFB was positive
among 71.1% diabetic patients and in 28.9% among non-diabetic patients. Culture
was positive among 78.2% diabetic patients and in 21.9% among non-diabetic patients.
Entero Aeroganes was among 85.7% diabetic patients and among 14.3% non-diabetic
patients on sputum microscopy. Streptococci was in 81.8% diabetic patients and in
18.2% non-diabetic patients on sputum microscopy. Klebsiella pneumonia was in all
the diabetic patients on blood culture. Haemophilus influenza was in 90% diabetic
patients and in 10% non-diabetic patients on blood culture. Multilobe chest X-ray
finding was in 37.5% diabetic patients and in 62.5% of non-diabetic patients.
Conclusion: In patients with pneumonia, diabetes mellitus is associated with microbial
etiology and multilobe involvement. This study suggests that the adverse outcome
is more attributable to the underlying circumstances of patients than to uncommon
microbiological findings.
Key words: Diabetic–Pneumonia–Microorganism
