The host's immune response to the presence of bacteria prolongs inflammation, delays healing, and damages tissue. [14] Infection can lead not only to chronic wounds but also to gangrene, loss of the infected limb, and death of the patient.

Patients may feel pain on the skin around the ulcer, and fluid may ooze from the ulcer. In some cases, ulcers can bleed and, rarely, patients experience fever. Ulcers sometimes seem not to heal; healing, if it does occur, tends to be slow. Ulcers that heal within 12 weeks are usually classified as acute, and longer-lasting ones as chronic. [2]
