“…Our study highlights the same, with AFT duration ranging from 30 to 180 days, with treatment being individualised on a case to case basis. Contrary to the finding by Neofytos et al, where they found shorter durations in those undergoing surgery; Dietl et al, questioned the basis of surgical debridement in Candida osteomyelitis of the sternum following cardiac surgery [7]. They reported worse outcomes in those subjected to debridement followed by a flap with local recurrence in all.…”

“…This, however, does not seem to hold true for all cases of FOaSI. Literature shows studies with variable results in spite of adequate debridement; the reasons can be manifold-negative culture, inconclusive histopathology, microscopic invasion of fungi in the tissues and vasculature beyond what seems to be macroscopically normal tissue, poor bone penetration of antifungals and immunocompromised state amongst others [2][3][4][5]7,[10][11][12][13]. This variability in results is distinctly highlighted in our case who underwent a second ray amputation following local recurrence [14].…”
