Abstract

Purpose: Diabetic foot ulcer is a public health concern around the world. These wounds are prone to a variety of infections including Clostridium Tetani that may lead to tetanus. The aim of this study was to evaluate the immunity status as a result of tetanus vaccination and other preventive measures in these patients. Methods: We conducted a narrative review of previous studies which were related to the risk of tetanus infection in diabetic foot patients by searching electronic databases. Results: It was found that usually tetanus antibody titers in diabetic patients are below the protective level and they are not appropriately vaccinated. Therefore, diabetes and lack of immunity, put diabetic foot ulcer patients more at risk of tetanus. But this problem is not given serious attention in diabetes care. Conclusions: Thus, it is recommended to provide specific guidelines for tetanus vaccination and prophylaxis in diabetic patients. These recommendations can play a vital role in the prevention of diabetic foot ulcers complication. © 2021, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
