Introduction: The diabetes constitutes the factor risk of mycotic infections.\nThe pathogenic agents depend on the climate, geography and the migration.\nThe objective of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of the mycotic infections\nwithin the hospitalized diabetic patients, to describe their localization\nand identify the responsible germs. Patients and methods: It is about a descriptive\nand retrospective study conducted from November 2015 to March\n2016 in endocrinology office at CHU Ibn Roch of Casablanca. It was included\nall diabetic patients hospitalized with whom mycotic infection has been suspected.\nResults: In total 350 diabetic patients have been hospitalized during\nthe period of research. A mycotic infection has been suspected in 138 patients\ncorresponding to the prevalence of 39.4 percent. The means localizations of\nmycotic infections were feet (intertrigos: 38.4%), onychomycosis (29%), vulvovaginal\n(21.7%) and mouth (oral candidiasis: 13.3%). The most frequent\npathogenic agents were dermatophytes (Trichophyton rubrum: 61%, Trichophyton\nmentagrophytes : 6.3%) and Candida albicans (23.1%). The direct\ntest and the culture were negative in 7.3%. Conclusion: One-third of the\ndiabetic patients showed a mycotic infection. The feet, constitute the predilection\nlocalization of mycotic infections in the diabetic. The dermatophytes\nand Candida albicans constitute the most frequent pathogenic agents found\nin our study.
