Popis:	To identify the incidence, type, severity and risk factors of common infections in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM). In this prospective observational study design, 125 children with type 1 DM (group1) and age and sex matched 125 non-diabetic children (group2) were followed up for 12 months from a tertiary care children hospital in Chennai. Infections encountered were documented in both the groups throughout the study period. Risk factors were analyzed. Among the diabetic children 46.2% had infections and the total episodes of infections were significantly high (p = 0.006). Skin and soft tissue infections (p = 0.03) and urinary tract infections (UTI) (p = 0.002) were significantly higher in diabetic children and they were more prone to recurrent infections. Mean HbA1c was significantly higher among the diabetic children with skin infections. Children with type 1 DM are more prone to skin and soft tissue infections and UTI. Skin infections are more severe and these children have higher HbA1c levels.
