Summary: We report a rare and severe case of systemic emphysematous infection caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae. The patient's condition rapidly deteriorated and led to death. This disease presents a significant challenge for clinicians as Klebsiella pneumoniae can cause multifocal emphysematous infections and fulminant septic shock. Spontaneous rupture of emphysematous liver abscess can lead to intra-abdominal sepsis, further increasing the mortality rate. Early diagnosis, efficient antibiotic therapy, and surgical management are crucial for systemic emphysematous infection.

Summary: A study in Denmark from 1997 to 2017 found that the incidence rates of fractures were higher in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes compared to those without diabetes, except for foot fractures. The incidence of hip fractures decreased by 35.2%, 47.0%, and 23.4% in patients with type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and without diabetes, respectively, over the last 5 years. However, vertebral fractures increased by 14.8%, 18.5%, and 38.9% in the same groups. After age adjustment, patients with type 1 diabetes still had a higher risk of fractures compared to those without diabetes, while patients with type 2 diabetes had a risk similar to those without diabetes.
