Abstract
This case presentation describes a 37-year-old homeless man with peripheral vascular disease and mixed bacterial and fungal infections of the feet. His management is a challenge because of his homeless status and lack of hygiene. His history includes alcoholism and tobacco addiction, which complicate his plan of care because of the negative affects associated with both. After careful assessment, referral to a dermatologist, education, and treatment, his infections resolved.
