Assessment Of C-Reactive Protein And Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor In Diabetic Foot Infection

Procalcitonin and proinflammatory parameters in diabetic foot infection as new predictive factor

“…Diabetic foot disease presents in various ways such as ulcer, infection/abscess, and gangrene [3]. About 15% of people with diabetes will develop a foot ulcer at some time during their life, and 85% of major leg amputations begin with a foot ulcer [4,5]. Most of DFIs are polymicrobial [6], gram-positive bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and coagulase negative staphylococci are the most common pathogens [7].…”

Low Hemoglobin Levels in Infected Diabetic Foot Ulcer

“…Suggesting that this increase may slow blood flow in blood vesicle and delay wound healing. High levels of glycated hemoglobin have been appeared to impair endothelium mediated vaso-active responses, which can prompt hypertension and vascular diseases in diabetic patients [29] . Micro-angiopathy is a result of changes in the microcirculation which is caused by changes in blood viscosity and red blood cell deformability [30] .…”
