Popis: 1. 1. Diabetes mellitus is not a rare disease and may be unsuspected until precipitated by acute infection. However, a knowledge of the symptomatology will help prevent disasters. 2. 2. The diagnosis of diabetes is usually not difficult and is established by relatively simple laboratory tests. 3. 3. The prevention of infection following dental procedures depends on adequate control, aseptic technique, and proper prophylactic antibiotic therapy when indicated. 4. 4. The management of coexisting diabetes and acute infection is closely interrelated. 5. 5. A case report of cellulitis of the neck and floor of the mouth in a previously undiagnosed mild diabetic following operative dental treatment is presented.
