Abstract (EN): The effect of peripheral artery disease in the skin temperature of diabetic foot patients is not known. In this study, skin temperature was assessed in patients with established diagnosis of diabetic foot, all with neuropathy, with or without peripheral artery disease. Thermograms of feet with neuropathy and peripheral vascular disease were compared with thermograms of feet with neuropathy, without peripheral artery disease. Skin temperature was lower in feet with neuropathy and peripheral artery disease and differences were statistically significant (p < 0.05) in most regions of interest.
