Osteomyelitis

Osteomyelitis

Osteomyelitis is a serious and often painful infection of the bone, resulting from the invasion of bacteria or other pathogens. Common causes include Staphylococcus aureus, but other bacteria, fungi, or viruses can also be responsible. Osteomyelitis can occur through various routes, such as bloodstream dissemination, direct bone contamination through trauma or surgery, or the spread from adjacent soft tissues. Symptoms include localized pain, swelling, redness, and sometimes fever. Chronic osteomyelitis can lead to bone destruction and formation of abscesses. Diagnosis involves clinical evaluation, imaging studies like X-rays, CT scans, or MRI, and often microbiological testing of bone samples. Treatment typically requires a combination of antibiotics, often administered intravenously for severe cases, and in some instances, surgical intervention to remove infected bone or drainage of abscesses. Timely and appropriate management is crucial to prevent complications, such as sepsis, and preserve the structural integrity of the affected bone.
