Skin and Soft Tissue Infections in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus. Infectious disease clinics of North America Polk, C., Sampson, M. M., Roshdy, D., Davidson, L. E. 2021; 35 (1): 183-197

Abstract

Skin and soft tissue infections are common in diabetics. Diabetic foot infection usually results from disruption of the skin barrier, trauma, pressure, or ischemic wounds. These wounds may become secondarily infected or lead to development of adjacent soft tissue or deeper bone infection. Clinical assessment and diagnosis of these conditions using a multidisciplinary management approach, including careful attention to antibiotic selection, lead to the best outcomes in patient care.
