My cousin has diabetes. She had a sore on her foot and now is hospitalized. I understand she has a flesh eating bacteria and the doctors have said they have to amputate the leg. Can you tell me the name of the bacteria and if we should seek another opinion
Hi I can understand your concern it's not all a bacterium that is eating the foot or leg it's all a called a diabetic foot profile of a patent that result in necrosis of that body part so these no bacteria that causes it except supers added infections be sure that the part of leg that changes the color and have no sensation need an urgent amputation to save the rest of the foot so just a good glycemic control and a good antibiotic coverage serve the purpose thanks and regards Chat Doctor.
