Abstract
CONCLUSIONS: 1. The most frequently observed infections in the studied obese, overweight and grossly obese individuals overall are those of dermatological, followed by urinary tract infections and cellulitis in that order. 2. Dermatological infections were the commonest among males. 3. Urinary tract infection was the commonest among females, with nearly 70% occuring in post partum. 4. The most frequently encountered organism is E.coli. 5. The question of whether the relation between obesity and infection is causal or simply an association generated by confounding factors such as diabetes cannot be easily answered.
