Author(s): Eidha Ali Bin-Hameed* and Maryam Hamed Baras
Foot ulcers complications in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients are one of the significant medical problems. This study aimed to assessment the role of phagocytic neutrophil cells and its relationship with the incidence of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) infection in diabetic patients. A case-control analytical study was conducted on 60 DM, DFU patients and healthy control group. Blood samples were collected for phagocytic activity testing and swabs samples of DFU were collected and processed for culture and antibiotics susceptibility testing after the ulcers classified according to Wagner’s grades system. Findings revealed that Gram-positive bacteria were the most prevalent in the DFU 57.1% with statistically significant relationship between the bacterial species and grades of Wagner’s classification. Wagner’s ulcers grade I and II were the most prevalence in DFU patients 3.. Read More»
