In this episode of Diabetic Foot Files, Dr. G delves into the often-overlooked viral infections that complicate diabetic foot ulcers. While bacterial and fungal threats are well-known, viruses like herpes simplex, cytomegalovirus, and human papillomavirus can severely impact wound healing and limb preservation. Dr. G explores various virology case studies to reveal how viral infections can delay cellular regeneration, interfere with angiogenesis, and increase inflammation. These invisible threats are particularly dangerous for immunocompromised patients, complicating wound care and treatment.
Listeners will discover key diagnostic approaches, including the importance of viral PCR swabs, biopsies, and the role of early antiviral therapy in managing these infections. Dr. G highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach involving infectious disease specialists, dermatologists, and podiatrists to enhance patient outcomes. The episode underscores the vital role of immunization, hygiene, and offloading compliance in preventing viral complications in diabetic wounds. Join us to learn how these silent saboteurs can be managed effectively and ensure every step counts in diabetic foot care.
