Abstract
The prevalence of individuals with diabetes has steadily been increasing, creating both a health and economic crisis world-wide. Previous studies have suggested that foot fungal infections, including onychomycosis and tinea pedis, increase the risk of developing a diabetic foot ulcer. Through a thorough PubMed search, this article aims to review relevant literature relating to superficial fungal infections and patients with diabetes.
