Popis: Background Diabetes mellitus is a very rampant metabolic disorder, particularly type II. It has many complications such as the septic foot. Diabetic septic foot (DSF) patients are at high risk for coagulation abnormalities as well as surgical hazards. Owing to the potential sequelae of coagulation and vascular abnormalities, this work aimed at studying the hemostatic state and platelet indices in diabetes type II patients with septic foot. Methods A case-control study was conducted during the period from July to September 2017 at Dr. Awaad medical center, Red Sea State, Sudan. 57 diabetic patients with septic foot, aged between 17 and 78 years along with 57 non-diabetic subjects as control were enrolled. Sociodemographic data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Venipuncture blood was taken with necessary safety measures. Diabetes profile, coagulation studies as well as platelet indices were estimated. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 24.0 for windows. Ethical approval was considered and written consent from each participant was obtained. Results The mean age of diabetic patients with septic foot and healthy controls were 48.49 ± 15.8 and 32.77 ± 14.0, respectively. The duration of the diabetes onset was 10.43 ± 9.5 years. Plasma prothrombin time (PT) value (12.61 ± 2.6 vs 13.67 ± 1.5, P
