Assessment of Fungal Genital Infection Frequency, Antifungal Sensitivity, and the Impact of Hemoglobin A1c Levels on These Infections in Diabetic Children

Objective: A positive relationship exists between high blood glucose levels and infection prevalence in patients with diabetes. Hyperglycemia may predispose to fungal infections. This study was conducted to compare the frequency of fungal infections and antifungal agent resistance of culture strains in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) with those in healthy controls and to assess the relationship between fungal infection and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels
