Discussion
One of the most important complications of Diabetic Mellitus (DM) is
Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU). A significant number of the patients
diagnosed with Diabetic Mellitus would experience DFU (1).
Necrotic Fasciitis that can be developed in a DFU is a rare but
dangerous infectious disease of soft tissue (2).
Leech therapy as a treatment method for Diabetic Foot Ulcer may have
complications, such as Bleeding; which can be controlled by topical
thrombin and pressure; if not, blood transfusion can be helpful,
Allergic responses and scarring. Aeromonas hydrophilia, a
Gram-negative bacterium in a leech’s digestive system can lead to
abscesses, cellulitis, and sepsis if it’s not developed in a standard
criteria (3).
