  • Infekcije diabetične noge = Diabetic foot infections
    Urbančič-Rovan, Vilma
    Gangrene and limb loss are among the most dreaded complications of diabetes mellitus. Almost 50% of all nontraumatic amputations are performed on diabeticpatients. Diabetic foot is a result of ... neuropathy and peripheral vascular disease. Ulcers are classified according to depth and extent of tissue involvement. Meggitt - Wagner classification with 5 grades is most widely used. Foot ulcers are frequently complicated by infection. In superficial ulcers, the predominant pathogens are Gram positive cocci, while in deeper wounds, anaerobes can be found. Wound swab remains by far the most frequently adopted method, although the results are not reliable due to contamination from the surrounding skin. Tissue samples are more reliable, butare not always available. Imaging techniques for the diagnosis of osteomyelitis include plain radiography, bone scan and magnetic resonance imaging. The decision for antibiotic therapy is based upon clinical picture and laboratory results. Oral administration is preferred with superficial wounds and parenteral in deeper wounds. The suggested duration of antibiotic therapy is 14 days in the absence of osteomyelitis and longer, weeks to months, with osteomyelitis.
