Tropical diabetic hand syndrome (TDHS) is a terminology used to describe a specific complication affecting patients with diabetes mellitus in the tropics. The syndrome encompasses a localized cellulitis with variable swelling and ulceration of the hands to progressive, fulminant hand sepsis, potentially fatal. Since this syndrome is less recognized it is often under-reported. Authors present two cases of TDHS and emphasize on aggressive glycemic control and surgical therapy to prevent potential crippling or fatal complications.
热带糖尿病手综合征（TDHS）是一个术语，用于描述影响热带地区糖尿病患者的一种特定并发症。该综合征包括手部局部蜂窝织炎，伴有不同程度的肿胀和溃疡，进而发展为进行性、暴发性手部脓毒症，可能危及生命。由于这种综合征较少被认识，所以常常报告不足。作者介绍了两例热带糖尿病手综合征病例，并强调积极控制血糖和手术治疗以预防潜在的致残或致命并发症。
