Abstract

Intestinal parasitic infections (IPIs) have been identified as a disease agent responsible for infections in immunocompromised patients such as diabetics. We searched six electronic databases and reviewed 38 related studies using the following keywords alone or in combination: "intestinal parasites", "diabetes", "immunocompromised", "prevalence", and "human." The pooled prevalence of IPIs in diabetic patients was 24.4% worldwide. These patients with IPIs are advised to go to health centers and perform the relevant checkups with the advent of the first symptoms of the disease, such as diarrhea and abdominal pain. Moreover, early diagnosis and treatment of IPIs in diabetic patients are highly recommended to maintain quality of life.
