Popis:	Diabetic patients are susceptible to foot infections, including cellulitis and osteomyelitis. However, not every diabetic's foot with erythema, swelling and pain is the result of an infection. The presentation of a Charcot's joint (neuroarthropathy) may mimic that of an acute infection. In the absence of systemic signs of sepsis, a diagnosis of a Charcot's joint should be considered.
