Calcaneal osteomyelitis presents a complicated situation. The specific anatomy of the os calcis and its surrounding soft tissues plays an important role in the planning and realization of the procedures needed in order to eradicate the osteomyelitic focus. The calcaneus represents a spongious bone; a fact that supports the developement of an osteomyelitis. It is the strongest bone of the foot a...

Osteomyelitis is an infectious stage of bones associated with distinct clinical microbiology. In sickle cell anemia, an early detection and diagnostic accuracy of osteomyelitis would establish an immediate treatment module for preventing bone destruction and deformity. This mini-review highlights the different diagnostic tools and courses of treatment involved in the accurate diagnosis of osteo...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Skull base osteomyelitis typically arises as a complication of ear infection in older diabetic patients, involves the temporal bone, and has Pseudomonas aeruginosa as the usual pathogen. Atypical skull base osteomyelitis arising from the sphenoid or occipital bones without associated external otitis occurs much less frequently and initially may have headache as the only s...

Polymorphonuclear neutrophils are critical for resolution of bacterial infections. In tissues, most of the neutrophils quickly die through apoptosis. Using propidium iodide DNA staining and DNA gel electrophoresis, we found that spontaneous apoptosis of neutrophils from patients suffering osteomyelitis (n = 52) was significantly decreased in relation to control neutrophils (n = 20) (40.2% +/- 2...

Chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis, or its most severe form, chronic recurrent multifocal is an autoinflammatory bone disease that causes skeletal inflammation characterized by pain and swelling primarily affects children. It a diagnosis of exclusion clinical presentation may mimic underlying infectious processes malignancy. Clinical suspicion for this timely referral to pediatric rheumatology ...

The aim of this study was to examine the aetiology and response to treatment of a series of patients with pelvic osteomyelitis. Criteria for selection were multiple positive intra-operative cultures and/or a positive radiological diagnosis. Twenty patients met these criteria (age range: 21-78 years, mean = 46). Data was recorded on host status using the Cierny-Mader classification, neurological...

Background: Rib osteomyelitis is a very rare form of pediatric osteomyelitis. Case report: Herein, we reported a very rare case of chest wall abscess with rib osteomyelitis and rib destruction due to Staphylococcus aureus infection in a 14-day-old preterm male neonate. The diagnosis of this uncommon disease requires a high index of suspicion due to its rarity and non-specific clinical presentat...
