Overview
Historical Perspective
Marchal de Calvi and Thomas Hodgkin first identified an association between diabetes and foot ulceration and infection, a significant source of morbidity and mortality for these patients, in the 1850s. All skin ulcers at that time were treated with prolonged bedrest, however these lesions returned soon after mobilization. At the turn of the 19th century, Frederick Treves introduced surgical debridement of these wounds as well as modified footwear to more evenly distribute pressure across the heal. A significant breakthrough occured in 1928, when Scottish scientist Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin, further reducing mortality and need for major amputation from diabetic foot infections by nearly 50%.[1][2] Throughout the 20th century, advances in surgical limb revascularization and the advent of angioplasty drastically reduced the need for amputation and remain a mainstay of treatment.[3][4]
In 2004, the Infectious Disease Society of America published initial clinical practice guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of diabetic foot infections and, with recent updates in 2012, provide up-to-date diagnostic and therapeutic information to clinicians.[5]
