Overview
Laboratory Findings
- Even in deeply infected ulcers laboratory measures such as WBC, ESR and CRP might be normal. Nevertheless elevated measures demonstrate infection.[1]
- Presence of infection in diabetic ulcers can worsen the glycemic control.[2]
- For detection of main responsible microorganisms biopsy, curettage or aspiration a tissue sample is recommended.[3]
