Chronic, non-communicable diseases are affecting the lives of more and more people worldwide; due to obesity and inadequate eating habits, the proportion of diabetics is on an increasing trend globally. The development of a number of macro- and microangiopathic pathologies associated with the onset of diabetes affects the life expectancy of patients. Diabetic foot infection (DFI) is one of the most serious long-term complications of diabetes and may be considered an intersection of infectious and non-infectious diseases; these infections can significantly reduce the quality of life of affected patients. The purpose of this review was to summarize the latest recommendations for conservative (non-surgical) therapy for DFIs and diabetic foot osteomyelitis (DFO).
