Abstract:
The presence of the diabetic state seems to predispose patients to more severe and unusual types of infections. Awareness and early recognition of these sometimes devastating problems, coupled with appropriate medical and surgical treatment and aggressive metabolic control of diabetes, provide the maximum opportunity for healing and recovery.
