Abstract EN

Diabetes mellitus (DM) type Two is a major worldwide health problem leading to an increase mortality and serious morbidity.

Immunological disturbances involving the cell mediated immune system and improper-lymphocyte function contributes to the path physiological of type Two- DM.

The patients with type Two -DM were detected for IL-6 and CRP markers so as for control by ELISA test and agglutination test respectively.

The results revealed that’s no significant differences (p≥0.05) between the level of CRP in patients type Two- DM and level of CRP in control.

So as there were significant differences (p≤0.05) between the levels of IL-6 concentrations in type Two- DM and control represented by increase of IL- 6 in control than in patients.
