Review on “Ottapparu – an Account on Diabetic Abscess”

Abstract

Prevalence of diabetes and its complications have been a  burden to society from ancient times, in the present and will  also be in the future unless proper measures are taken to  prevent its manifestation. There have been an increasing  number of deaths associated-amputation cases which are  mainly caused by non healing wounds. Even with the latest  technology and modern medicine with a highly trained  medical team around, yet the majority of the diabetic ulcers  end up with more or less amputation of the concerned  major or minor part of the lower limb.
