Symptoms of improved osteomyelitis

Osteomyelitis is an inflammatory disease caused by pyogenic bacteria infecting bone marrow, bone cortex and periosteum. Most of it is caused by blood, trauma or surgical infection. It is mainly caused by the pyogenic bacteria of furuncle, carbuncle or other lesions entering the blood and reaching the bone tissue. Both ends of the limb bone are most vulnerable to invasion, especially the hip joint. In clinical practice, there are cases of recurrent attacks, which are not cured for many years, seriously affecting physical and mental health and labor ability.

The onset of acute osteomyelitis is characterized by high fever and local pain. If the diagnosis is not made in time, there will be ulceration, thick flow, dead bone or cavity formation when it turns to chronic osteomyelitis. Severe patients are often in danger of life, sometimes have to take the emergency measures of amputation to save life, so that patients fall into lifelong disability.

Patients with this disease often have localized bone pain, fever and discomfort may suggest osteomyelitis. The white blood cell count can be normal. But ESR and C-reactive protein almost always increased. The X-ray changes appeared 3-4 weeks after infection. Visible bone destruction, soft tissue swelling, subchondral bone plate erosion. Intervertebral disc space narrowing and bone destruction with vertebral shortening. If X-ray findings are not clear, CT examination is feasible to determine the lesions
