1 Prof & Head, Dept of Microbiology, Rama Medical College, Hospital & Research Center –Kanpur, U.P. 2,3 PG, Department of Microbiology, Rama Medical College, Hospital & Research Center –Kanpur, U.P. *Corresponding Author Priyanka Chauhan Department of Microbiology, Rama Medical College, Hospital & Research center, Kanpur-U.P (India) Mob.No. 9412470373, Email: priyanka1978.pc@gmail.com Abstract Objective: To study the fungal infections of diabetic foot in tertiary care hospital of U.P. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. Diabetic patients (70) with foot ulceration were included in the study. Samples were obtained from the depth of the wound (taking aseptic precautions) after debridement .Samples were transported to the microbiology laboratory within an hour in sterile containers. Results: More than one third of patients were between 60-69 years (48.6%) of age. Majority of patients were males (78.6%).KOH was positive among 31.4% patients. Fungal positive was 21.4% patients. Gram positive bacteria was seen in 36.4% and gram positive was in 63.6%. Among the gram positive, Enterococcus faecalis was most prevalent (75%) and among the gram negative Pseudomonas spp. was found to be most prevalent (50%). Candida albicans was most predominant (73.3%) and Aspergillus fumigatus was least common (33.3%). Conclusion: Due to hyperglycemic environment and suppressed immunity, diabetic patients are more prone to infections. Fungal infections in diabetic patients if not treated in-time leads to the fatal complications such as foot amputation.
