Abstract
This article describes four infected diabetic foot ulcer patients who were treated with honey dressing as fragmented therapy. Quantitative and qualitative descriptions of the ulcer-healing process were documented. All four ulcers showed positive wound contraction and reduction in size, and clinical signs of infection were absent at the end of the follow-up period. Moreover, surrounding skin maceration and trauma were absent in all wounds. Adequate moisture control was also achieved, evidenced by a healthy red granulating base and a thin layer of clear light exudate in all fours cases. These reports provide little evidence that the use of honey dressing is effective in combating wound
 infection. Honey dressing can be used to improve wound healing in chronic diabetic foot ulcers.
