Özet:

 


Diabetic foot infections are an important cause of morbidity. In humans, Fusarium causes external infections. A male
obese patient at the age of 56 who had been getting treatment in various clinics due to ulceration and lymphedema.
Treatment started with tigecycline 50 mg vial 2x1. Alcaligenes faecalis and Proteus vulgaris reproduced. Tigecycline
treatment was stopped on the 4th day and piperacillin/tazobactam 4,5 gr vial 3x1 and liposomal amphotericin B 3
mg/kg/day were initiated. In direct microscopic examination, hypes were seen and Fusarium spp. reproduction was
detected. Liposomal amphotericin treatment was stopped on the 15th day and voriconazole 200 mg tb po 2x1 was
initiated. At the end of one month, the lesions were regressed entirely. It should not be forgotten that despite its
scarcity, fungus factors might give rise to diabetic foot infections and patients should be evaluated in terms of fungus
infections. J Microbiol Infect Dis 2017; 7(1): 42-45
