| Popis: | Diabetic foot is one of the common complications of diabetes mellitus. We report clinical and microbiological characteristics and outcomes of cases with distant metastatic foci of infection arising from diabetic foot.Retrospective review of adult patients with diabetic foot infection or diabetic foot ulcer who demonstrated distant metastatic foci of infection between August 2017 and December 2019. We performed a literature search of similar cases published until June 2020.Twelve patients with diabetic foot infection or diabetic foot ulcer with distant metastatic foci of infection were identified. The median age of patients was 67.5 years (range 60.5-73.5 years) and 11 males.
