Prevalence of pathogenic yeasts and humoral antibodies to candida in diabetic patients

"The frequent occurrence of candida infections in
patients with diabetes mellitus has been recognised
for many years (Plass et al., 1931; Hopkins, 1932;
Akrawi, 1960; Winner and Hurley, 1964; Hesseltine,
1965). The predisposing effect of diabetes has been
confirmed by animal experiments (Andriole and
Hasenclever, 1962; Hurley, 1966; Louria, et al.,
1966; Van Cutsem and Thienpont, 1971) in which an
induced diabetic state was associated with increased
susceptibility to infection by pathogenic Candida
species. Previous studies had shown the prevalence
of yeasts to be greater among diabetics than among
normal subjects (Sonck and Somersalo, 1963;
Barlow and Chattaway, 1969), although this has
not been the finding of all workers (Peters et al.,
1966)."
