Complex Treatment of Purular-Necrotic Foot Lesions in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus

The clinical picture of purulent-necrotic lesions of the foot (PNF) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) is characterized by an atypical course. This is due to high bacterial contamination, the tendency of pus to spread throughout the surrounding tissues and tendon sheaths and their more frequent generalization [2,3,7]. Taking into account the predominance of microflora in the wound that is insensitive or not sensitive to antibiotics, and the increased frequency of inoculation of non-clostridial anaerobic infection [1,5,6], the search for new methods of treating purulent wounds continues.
