A total of 160 consecutive diabetic patients were examined for hand and foot ulcers. We found 6 patients with ulcers of the hand. Antecedent trauma, all trivial, was noted in all the patients with ulcers. Five patients with foot ulcers had peripheral neuropathy and 1 patient had occlusive vascular disease. Only 3 of the 10 diabetic foot cases had a history of trauma. The mean age of the patients with hand and foot ulcers was 43 years and 56 years respectively. Staphylococcus was the commonest isolate. Digital gangrene was a more common complication in hand ulcers compared with the foot.
对160例连续性糖尿病患者进行了手足溃疡检查。我们发现6例手部溃疡患者。所有溃疡患者均有前驱创伤，均为轻微创伤。5例足部溃疡患者有周围神经病变，1例有闭塞性血管疾病。10例糖尿病足病例中只有3例有创伤史。手部和足部溃疡患者的平均年龄分别为43岁和56岁。葡萄球菌是最常见的分离菌。与足部相比，手指坏疽在手部溃疡中是更常见的并发症。
