The results suggest poor overall survival among patients with DM-associated PnM. Survival during the first 3 months is crucial for long-term survival. Meanwhile, the development of fever and a decrease in the number of lymphocytes were associated with long-term mortality. Early recognition and prompt treatment of this high-risk group of DM patients is therefore important.
