Abstract

The value of blood cultures after bone biopsy in diabetic foot osteomyelitis was assessed through a prospective monocentric study. Blood cultures tested positive in 15.8% of patients. Risk factors were male gender, higher CRP levels, Streptococcus sp.-positive bone culture, and pre-existing valvulopathy.
