Abstract

Purpose of Review

Diabetic foot infections (DFIs) are common in patients with diabetes mellitus complicated by foot ulcers and can be classified in different categories based on their severity. In this report, we present the diagnosis and management of DFIs according to their classification.

Recent Findings

While appropriate antibiotic regiments and surgical techniques for the treatment of DFIs are well established, new technologies and techniques for example in medical imaging, wound care modalities, and supplementary therapy approaches show potentially promising results in preventing DFIs.

Summary

As with every complex disease, fine tuning DFI management can be challenging as it requires careful evaluation of different parameters. It demands timely action, close collaboration of different specialties, and patient cooperation.
