Introduction: Acute bacterial infections of the skin and soft tissue are common and often pose serious complications, most commonly caused by Streptococcus species and Staphylococcus aureus.
Objective: The authors report clinical presentation and pathogens in patients with a foot abscess and no wound.
Methods: The authors retrospectively evaluated the demographics, clinical presentation, and microbiology from 20 patient records.
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence and recovery of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients admitted to the hospital with and without diabetes mellitus (DM) with foot infections.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 294 patients with DM and 88 without DM admitted to the hospital with foot infections. The Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes guidelines were used to define AKI.
The aim of this study is to evaluate serum biomarkers to monitor high-risk patients for reinfection of bone. Thirty-five patients were prospectively enrolled with moderate to severe diabetic foot infections with suspicion of osteomyelitis. Bone samples were obtained for culture and histology.

Methods: Literature searches on Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar were performed with the input antibiotic, bone, biopsy, osteomyelitis, and prior both separately and together, though initially as a combination, as key words for all study types in the English language published up until July 2018. The initial combination search (and subsequent additional search of the references) yielded 924 related articles, which ultimately resulted in 12 articles with adequate data for analysis.
