Microbiological investigationPolymicrobial infection
Gram stain of showed neutrophils, Gram positive cocci and Gram positive bacilli
Enterocoocci and alpha-haemolytic Streptoccoci were isolated from pus
At least five different species comprising Gram positive cocci and Enterobacteria were cultured from superficial swabs.

Surgical InterventionOn day 4 debridement was undertaken to remove
infected bone and soft tissue
Enterococcus faecalis, Propionobacterium sp. and Escherichia coli were isolated from deep pus and tissue samples.

Diabetic foot infectionMost common reason for diabetes-related admission to
hospital
High morbidity – may result in amputations

Why does DFI occur?Foot ulceration is the major factor and occurs secondary
to peripheral neuropathy and/or vascular insufficiency (neuro-ischaemic foot ulceration)
Hyperglycaemia and other metabolic disturbances contribute through immunological (e.g. neutrophil) dysfunction and poor wound healing

Microbiological SamplesSamples should be collected following cleansing and
debridementTissue samples should be obtained from the base of an
ulcer by curettage, or at surgeryBone biopsy (including histopathological examination) is
important in establishing a diagnosis of osteomyelitisSamples should be transported without delay to the
laboratory and cultured under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions.

Diagnosis and AssessmentDFI is diagnosed clinically by signs and symptoms of
inflammationInfections are categorized as mild, moderate or severe,
on the basis of clinical and laboratory featuresCategorization helps to guide appropriate clinical
managementAssessment made as to whether an episode is life or limb
threatening

Moderate infectionTreatment options includeamoxicillin/clavulanateclindamycin + ciprofloxacinrifampicin + levofloxacinpiperacillin/tazobactamertapenemNB. Choices influenced by local policy with consideration oflocal issues such as C. difficile and MRSA incidence
Add glycopeptide, linezolid or daptomycin if MRSA infectionis suspected or infection is life/limb-threateningAuthor: Paul Chadwick, Salford Royal Hospitals Trust

Severe infectionInfection in a patient with evidence of systemicinflammatory response syndrome
IV treatment, at least initially, as an inpatient, e.g.clindamycin + ciprofloxacinpiperacillin/tazobactammeropenem or imipenem/cilastatin

Diagnostic ImagingImaging should always be considered to identify soft
tissue abscesses or osteomyelitisOsteomyelitis is present in 30% DFIIt is important to identify underlying osteomyelitis as this
influences the choice, dose, route and duration of antimicrobial therapy, however
There is no single, non-invasive, highly sensitive and specific test for osteomyelitis
MRI can help to identify bone involvement (marrow oedema) and define its extent.

X-rays and DFIPlain X-rays can be negative during the first 2-3 weeks of
osteomyelitisCharcot neuroarthropathy & gout may produce similar
appearancesPragmatic approach where osteomyelitis is suspected
but X-rays are negativetreat for osteomyelitis for two weeks then re-Xrayextend the course of therapy if new changes become
apparent.

Does the patient require surgery?Surgical intervention is often required. Urgent assessment
is needed by a surgeon with expertise in foot surgery where the infection is life- or limb-threatening. Vascular surgery may be needed where there is critical ischaemia.
? Excision & drainage? Debridement? Resection +/- reconstruction? Revascularisation? Amputation

To manage the acute infection
To reduce the risk of future foot problems

Duration of Antimicrobial TherapyContinued until the signs and symptoms of infection have
resolved (ulcer may persist)May be longer than for skin and soft tissue infections in non-
diabetic patientsMild soft tissue infections 1-2 weeksModerate-severe soft tissue 3-4 weeks
Osteomyelitis typically 6 weeks, unless all affected bone is completely removed by surgery (1-2 weeks)
Therapy ≥3 months sometimes required for extensive bone infection e.g. calcaneumNB. Courses may need to be longer than for non-diabetic patients with cellulitis

Antibiotics in DFIAntimicrobial therapy can be challenging!Consider patient factors (e.g. age, renal function,
peripheral vascular disease)Side effects are common
Gastrointestinal intolerance of oral antibiotics, often to multiple agents
Hypersensitivity reactions (typically skin rashes) Deterioration in renal function may occur
