Abstract

Introduction: Foot infections are among the most common complications encountered inpatients with diabetes mellitus in clinical practice. This disease and its sequelae are one of themain causes of hospitalization among patients with diabetes mellitus. The primary objective inthe treatment of diabetic foot infection is to prevent amputation and to help recover the functions. In this study, various clinical parameters of diabetic foot infection patients have been evaluated and these parameters have been correlated with variables such as risk factors and level ofinfection. Materials and Method: The study was conducted retrospectively on the records of 32 diabetic foot infection patients (24 males, 8 females) who stayed and were treated in Gulhane medical hospital department of infectious diseases and Clinic between 2005 and 2012.Results: Mean score of the participants' age was 63.53±9.9. Results revealed that uncontrolled diabetes significantly increased diabetic foot infection risk. As to body temperature,peripheral leukocyte, acute phase reactants and biochemical parameters, the results demonstrated that they could not be correlated to the degree of the disease; however, they might changein an unspecific way in acute or advanced stages. Single growth in blood culture proved to bemore common. Combined antibiotic treatment was highly preferred. Patients, even those underthe risk of amputation, responded positively to hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Conclusion: Diabetic foot infections are serious cases that require a multidisciplinary treatment approach. Accordingly, a proper anamnesis taken from the patient, clinical evaluation, earlydiagnosis via appropriate radiological and microbiological methods, and accurate treatment willprevent loss of limb

Özet

Giriş: Ayak enfeksiyonları diyabetik hastalarda klinik pratikte en sık rastlanılan komplikasyonlardan biridir. Bu hastalık ve onun sekelleri diyabetik hastalar arasında hastaneye yatışın en önemli nedenlerinden biridir. Diyabetik ayak enfeksiyonu tedavisinde esas hedef uzuv kaybının önünegeçmek ve fonksiyonlarını yerine getirmesini sağlamaktır. Bu çalışmada diyabetik ayak enfeksiyonu hastalarına ait çeşitli klinik parametreler değerlendirildi ve risk faktörleri enfeksiyonun derecesi gibi durumlarla kıyaslamaları yapıldı.Gereç ve Yöntem: Gülhane Tıp Fakültesi hastanesi enfeksiyon hastalıkları kliniğinde 20052012 yılları arasında yatırılarak tedavi gören diyabetik ayak enfeksiyonu tanısı konulmuş 32 (24erkek ve 8 kadın) hastanın dosyaları geriye dönük olarak incelenerek yapıldı.Bulgular: Hastaların yaş ortalaması 63.53±9.9 idi. Kontrolsüz diyabete sahip olmanın diyabetik ayak enfeksiyonu riskini arttırdığı tespit edildi. Ateş, periferik lökosit, akut faz reaktanları vebiyokimyasal parametreler açısından bakıldığında hastalığın derecesi ile ilişkilendirilemeyeceğiancak akut veya ileri safhada spesifik olmayan bir şekilde değişebileceği tespit edildi. Kültürde tekçeşit üreme daha fazla tespit edildi. Kombine antibiyotik tedavisi yüksek oranda tercih edilmişti.Hiperbarik oksijen tedavisine bazı amputasyon düşünülen hastalar dâhil iyi yanıt verdiği tespit edildi. Sonuç: Diyabetik ayak enfeksiyonları multidisipliner tedavi yaklaşımı gerektiren önemli birdurumdur. Bu amaçla hastadan alınan iyi bir anamnez, klinik değerlendirme, uygun radyolojik vemikrobiyolojik yöntemlerle erken tanı ve uygun tedavi muhtemel bir fonksiyon bozulmasını veuzuv kaybını önleyecektir
