Article Synopsis
- A nonrandomized open-label study investigated the effectiveness of rifampicin in treating refractory diabetic foot ulcers (rDFU) and osteomyelitis in patients who did not respond to standard antimicrobial therapies for over 3 months.
- The study involved 67 patients treated with rifampicin alongside conventional antibiotics, compared to a control group of 68 patients receiving only standard treatment, with healing rates and amputation occurrences monitored over 12 months.
- Results showed a significantly higher healing rate in the rifampicin group (70.1% at 6 months) compared to the control group (36.8%), highlighting rifampicin's potential benefit in managing nonhealing diabetic foot ulcers.
