Clinical and Microbiological Evaluation of Osteomyelitis

چکیده
Results: The study included 134 patients with osteomyelitis. The cases were divided clinically into 4 main groups: haematogenous, exogenous, postoperative and mastoiditis. Staphylococcus aureus was the most common causative agent in haematogenous osteomyelitis whereas Pseudomonas sp. were the most common causative organisms in postoperative and mastoiditis groups of bone infection. The total number of isolated bacteria was 224, of which 50 (22%) were anaerobes. These anaerobes were isolated from 39 (29%) of 134 patients. The anaerobic organisms were found most frequently in the cases of chronic mastoiditis (57%) and erogenous osteomyelitis (40%).
