ABSTRACT

The diabetic foot, according to the International Consent, is an infection, ulceration or destruction of the deep tissue related with neurological alterations and different grades of periphery vascular illness in the inferior extremities that affects patients with diabetes mellitus. In Venezuela, conditions are particularly serious for the high persistence and poor epidemic information. In the United States it is prevalent in 4 – 5 percent of the population. The author intends to determine the persistence of this affection with the purpose of guaranteeing the integral attention to the diabetic population with frequent diabetic foot ulcer; in the services of Podiatry assisted by the Cuban Medical Mission in Venezuela. The studied sample consisted of 800 patients from which 532 (66, 5%) were males and 268 (33, 1%) females. A 57.5% of the patients were over 55 years and most of them (60, 24%) came from rural area. Patients with DM type II were the predominant group with 675 (84, 3%). The kind of foot injury (according to Wagner´s classification) was advanced: grade IV in 428 (53, 5%). The most frequent germ found in culturing was: echerichiacolli (15%). In a very special alliance, the solidary hand of the Cubans is there. History is now another in Venezuela; and much has to do on it the Cuba-Venezuela Agreement and the Cuban Medication Heberprot-p, a marvel of the Cuban science, doing their best in the struggle against such a terrible illness and its complications.
