y Osteomyelitis is an infection of bone or bonemarrow, usually caused by pyogenic bacteria ormycobacteria.
y Staphylococcus aureus is the organism most common.
y Bloodstream-sourced osteomyelitis is seen mostfrequently in children, and nearly 90% of cases arecaused byStaphylococcus aureus.
-

37/151
Predispositionsy An open injury to the bone: open fracture with the bone ends
piercing the skin.y An infection from elsewhere in the body: urinary tract
infection that has spread to the bone throu
gh the blood.y A minor trauma, which can lead to a blood clot around the
bone and then a secondary infection from seeding of bacteria.y Bacteria in the bloodstream, which is deposited in a focal
(localized) area of the bone. This bacterial site in the bonethen grows, resulting in destruction of the bone. However,
new bone often forms around the site.y A chronic open wound or soft tissue infection can eventually
extend down to the bone surface, leading to a secondary boneinfection.

PathophysiologyPredisposition like:
Open wound, surgery,Soft tissue infection like boils, venous
stasis, DM
Bacteria enters, lodge and multiplyInfection reaches outer surface or
margin of the bone, raising theperiosteum
Phagocytes attempt to contain
infection by releasing enzymes thatdestroys eventually bone tissue
Pus forms, followed by edema andvascular congestion
Disruption of blood supply andNecrosis results
Bacteria adheres to damaged bonecoating underlying bone with
protective film

ManifestationsBacteria can travel into the bone through the
bloodstream from other infected areas in the body
Bacteria enter the body's tissues througha wound and
travel to the bone (like after an injury or trauma)
Pain and/or tenderness in the infected areaSwelling and warmth in the infected areaFever
Nausea, secondarily from being ill with infectionGeneral discomfort, uneasiness, or ill feeling
Drainage of pus through the skinExcessive sweating
ChillsLower back pain
Swelling of the ankles, feet, and legsChanges in gait (walking pattern that is a painful, yielding a limp)

42/151
Diagnostic Testsy Blood tests: When testing the blood, measurements are
taken to confirm an infection:1. complete blood count (CBC), which will show if there is an
increased white blood cell count2. ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) and/or CRP (C-reactive protein) in the bloodstream, which detects andmeasures inflammation in the body. (NV=0-15mm/hr)
yBlood culture:A blood culture is a test used to detectbacteria. A sample of blood is taken and then placed intoan environment that will support the growth of bacteria. Byallowing the bacteria to grow, the infectious agent can thenbe identified and tested against different antibiotics inhopes of finding the most effective treatment.

y Needle aspiration: a needle is used to remove a sample of f luid andcells from the vertebral space, or bony area.
y Biopsy:A biopsy (tissue sample) of the infected bone may be takenand tested for signs of an invading organism.
y Bone scan: a small amount of Technetium-99 pyrophosphate, aradioactive material, is injected intravenously into the body. If the bonetissue is healthy, the material will spread in a uniform fashion. A tumoror infection in the bone will absorb the material and show an increased
concentration of the radioactive material, which can be seen with aspecial camera that produces the images on a computer screen.
-

Rheumatoid arthritis typically strikes joints, causing pain, swelling and
deformity. As the synovial membranes become inflamed and thickened, fluid
builds up and joints erode and degrade.

Osteoarthritis, the most common form of arthritis, involves the wearing awayof the cartilage that caps the bones in the joints. With rheumatoid arthritis, the
synovial membrane that protects and lubricates joints becomes inflamed,
causing pain and swelling. Joint erosion may follow.
