Garre’s sclerosing osteomyelitis is a specific type of chronic osteomyelitis that mainly affects children and young adults. This disease is commonly associated with an odontogenic infection resulting from dental caries. This article describes a case report of 14 year old boy with Garre’s osteomyelitis of mandible caused by infection of lower left first molar. The case was managed by nonsurgical...

We present a rare case of fungal osteomyelitis of tibia and fibula with extensive involvement of ankle, intertarsal and tarsometatarsal joints leading to bony ankylosis of all joints over a four years duration. Diagnosis was confirmed with histological and microbiological examinations, which showed Aspergillosis osteomyelitis. The patient was treated with Amphotericin B for 6 weeks. The outcome...

Cryptococcosis is a rare infection in HIV-negative individuals. While the lungs and the central nervous system are most commonly infected, skeletal cryptococcosis is uncommon and isolated osteomyelitis due to Cryptococcus neoformans is quite rare. To our knowledge, only 47 cases of isolated cryptococcal osteomyelitis have been reported from 1974 to 2005. We report a case of isolated cryptococca...

a 25 year-old man presented with pain, swelling, and intermittent drainage from distal lateral aspect of his left knee three months after undergoing isolated acl reconstruction with arthroscopic hamstring autograft and endobottom technique. his surgeon at that time tried to eliminate the pathology through arthroscopic wash out in two attempts. however, the pain, edema, and discharge recurred af...

Chronic osteomyelitis is a bone infection that results in hypertrophic scarring of the soft tissue surrounding the infected bone. This scarring can create functional problems and its treatment is challenging. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of decorin in treating scar formation in osteomyelitis and the underlying mechanism of its action. A rat osteomyelitis model was u...

The character of acute hematogenous osteomyelitis (AHO) in North American children has changed significantly during the past several decades. Although the typical clinical picture of established acute osteomyelitis in children (illness, dehydration, and an acutely painful limb) is still seen, more subtle presentations appear more frequently. Children often present with subacute osteomyelitis. L...

Introduction Raoultella is a genus of aerobic Gram-negative bacilli belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae that are commonly found in water, soil and aquatic environments. With improved bacterial identification techniques, Raoultella species (namely R. planticola and R. ornithinolytica) have been an increasingly reported cause of infections in humans. Case presentation An 85-year-old man ...

Introduction Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is an autoinflammatory bone disorder that manifests as recurrent flares of inflammatory bone pain, related to one or more foci of nonbacterial osteomyelitis. Patients may present with low grade fever and modest elevation of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP) and white blood cell counts (WBC). We descr...

Odontogenic infections resulting in osteomyelitis of the mandible are common. However, osteomyelitis of the coronoid process as a direct consequence of third molar infection is rare. The following report describes such a case in an 18-year-old female as a severe complication following third molar removal. Despite aggressive antimicrobial therapy and indicated treatment approach following microb...

Tuberculosis osteomyelitis of foot bones is uncommon and may evade the diagnosis for long time because of atypical presentation, paucibacillary nature and relatively normal picture on laboratory investigations. As tuberculosis of bone mimic like chronic osteomyelitis, clinical picture with confection by other organism lead to misdiagnosis. A case of tubercular osteomyelitis of talus reported he...
