Introduction Diabetes mellitus systemic disease associated with increased incidence of morbidity and mortality. 1 Wound infection Imbalance between host resistance and microorganisms, immune defences.1 Diabetic patients have higher chance of getting the hand infections. 1.

Introduction Infection of the hand is less well recognized than foot Reports from western countries show an increase from less than 5% in 1970 more than 10% in 1999 incidence of diabetes who require a hospital admission for significant hand infection. 2 Tropical Diabetic Hand Syndrome (TDHS) diabetes among patients who have progressive, fulminant hand sepsis. 2 2.

To find out Characteristic in Diabetic hand infection, Clinical history, Pathological diagnosis, Bacteriology types and numbers of microorganism, type of operations and managementin HasanSadikin Hospital Bandung Period January 2009 – September 2012
Material and Method • Characteristic of hand infection identified from - Clinical history and examination - Pathological diagnosis - Bacteriology types and numbers of microorganism - Type of operations and management • Broad spectrum antibiotic started empirically then adjusted according to the culture and sensitivity report

Discussion Than non diabetic patients • Hand infections in diabetic patient results deep tissue involvement, multiple operations, sometimes amputation and longer hospital stay • In our series, of 21 patients: → 10 had infections containing gram positive, → 8 gram negative , → 3 fungal infection • We found a similarity of growth pattern in other studies as well. → Gonzalez et al. reported 46% of polymicrobialinfectionsin his study. → Kouralso showed an increased incidence of gram positive and gram negative organisms in diabetic hand infections. 3,4 3.

Francel TJ, Marshall KA, Savage RC, Hand infections in the diabetic and the diabetic renal transplant recipient, Ann PlastSurg 24:304309, 1990. Gonzalez et al. reported 39% of diabetic hand infection required amputation. 3 Two more studies of hand infection reported by Francel et al showed only three amputations in 25 diabetic patients. 3, 4 In our series, amputation was required in four (19 %) patients. Relative low incidence of amputation in our study multiple debridement and aggressive approach towards diabetic hand infection.
Discussion Belcher and Clare showed elevation and proper management of hyperglycemia are most important considerations when dealing with a diabetic hand infection. 5 Our study found length of hospitalization is correlated to severity of infection. Furthermore, if polymicrobial infection is present in patients with severe infections there will be a higher rate of multiple debridement. 5.

Conclusion Most common cause Diabetic hand infectionin HasanSadikin Hospital : - Clinical history and examination : trauma - Pathological diagnosis : abcess - Bacteriology types and numbers of microorganism : staphylococcus - Operations and management : debridement
