Repeated Multiple Episodes of Furunculosis in a Young Brittle Diabetic, Successfully Treated

We report a 36-year-old male, a brittle diabetic, known case of diabetes mellitus for the last 10 years, noncompliant with medications, and presented with repeated episodes of furunculosis. The patient had a history of fever, headache, and one seizure episode in the last week. The patient has brittle diabetes, uncontrolled hypertension, and acute on chronic kidney injury with Vitamin D deficiency and iron deficiency anemia. The patient responded well to both systemic and local antibiotics, and all the skin lesions healed with adequate blood sugar management.
