Osteomyelitis is commonly known as Bone infection

What is osteomyelitis (Bone Infection)?

Osteomyelitis or Bone infection is an inflammation or swelling of the bone tissue which is usually caused by infection. Bone infection may occur due to various reasons and can affect both children and adults.

Osteomyelitis usually occurs due to bacterial infection in the blood stream and infects the bone through blood circulation.

This is common in children and usually affects long bones such as arms and legs. In adults the most common infections are seen in spine, foot and hips.

Bone infection can develop suddenly or over a long period of time and if untreated it can become worse and lead to bone death. This may require amputation of the infected area.

Osteomyelitis is caused by staphylococcus bacteria  or fungus which enters into the body through blood stream.

Osteomyelitis may also occur due to an infection caused by a serious injury, surgical procedure or due to an implant. People having diabetes are more vulnerable to bone infection. Any situation giving a direct path to the bones for the bacteria to enter can lead to this condition.

People with weak immune system or people using immunosuppressants due to a recent organ transplant, or who use steroids are at a higher risk of developing the infection

Depending on the source of infection, Bone infection or Osteomyelitis can develop chronically or suddenly.
