Abstract
COVID-19 infection is increasing in severity today and may appear with various clinical presentations. Apart from the common respiratory symptoms of COVID-19, patients can also be diagnosed with different symptoms. The presence of diabetes aggravates the course of COVID-19 infection. Difficulties in accessing healthcare services during the pandemic process of individuals with chronic diseases, and the complication of diabetes, which is a chronic disease with high morbidity and mortality, have led to rapid progression in diabetic foot ulcers and increases in amputation rates. COVID-19 infection is also thought to contribute to this progression. With this case, we wanted to evaluate the relationship between the rapid progression of the ulcer of our patient with diabetic foot ulcer and COVID-19 infection.

Abstract
COVID-19 enfeksiyonu günümüzde giderek şiddetini arttırmakta ve çeşitli klinik prezentasyonlarla karşımıza çıkabilmektedir. COVID-19’un yaygın görülen solunum yolları semptomları dışında hastalar farklı semptomlarla da tanı alabilmektedirler. Diyabet varlığı, COVID-19 enfeksiyon seyrini ağırlaştırmaktadır. Kronik hastalığı olan bireylerin pandemi sürecinde sağlık hizmetlerine ulaşım zorlukları, kronik bir hastalık olan diyabetin, morbidite ve mortalitesi yüksek olan komplikasyonu diyabetik ayak ülserinde hızlı progresyonlara ve ampütasyon oranlarında artışlara neden olmuştur. COVID-19 enfeksiyonun da bu progresyona katkıda bulunduğu düşünülmektedir. Bu olgumuzla diyabetik ayak ülseri olan hastamızın, ülserindeki hızlı progresyonun COVID-19 enfeksiyonu ile olan ilişkisini değerlendirmek istedik.
