Wound infections after tooth extraction may occur in up to 5%. A systemic infection is a rare but threatening complication often caused by an underlying immune deficiency (immunosuppression, diabetes, HIV) which requires prompt adequate care. This case report describes bacterial meningitis as a possible systemic complication two days after the extraction of a molar in a patient with previously undiagnosed latent diabetes mellitus.
拔牙后伤口感染发生率可达5%。全身感染是一种罕见但具有威胁性的并发症，通常由潜在的免疫缺陷（免疫抑制、糖尿病、艾滋病）引起，需要及时给予充分治疗。本病例报告描述了一名先前未诊断出患有潜伏性糖尿病的患者在拔除一颗磨牙两天后发生细菌性脑膜炎这一可能的全身并发症。
