    GlossaryOsteomyelitis

    bone infection often caused by bacteria or fungi

    Osteomyelitis is an infection of the bone, often caused by bacteria or fungi. It can result from an open injury to the bone, an infection elsewhere in the body that spreads to the bone, or a surgical procedure. Symptoms typically include severe pain, fever, and swelling at the infection site. Early diagnosis and treatment, which may involve antibiotics or surgery, are crucial to prevent complications such as bone necrosis.
