    Inflammation of all parts of the bone: actually bones (spin), bone marrow
    (Melitis) and periosteum (periostitis).



    Causes of osteomyelitis

    Osteomyelitis
    Most often cause the following bacteria: Streptococcus, Staphylococcus,
    Salmonella and intestinal wand. Less often the inflammation of the bone can occur,
    As a complication of tuberculosis, syphilis, leprosy and some others
    Diseases. In order to get into the bone, the bacteria has
    Only two ways: internal and outdoor. In the first case infection
    It is transferred along with blood current from a remote pathogenic focus
    (Hematogenous osteomyelitis). It can happen during Caries, Schimorite,
    Angina, intestinal fiction and t.NS. In the second - the starting mechanism serve
    Injuries. Infection penetrates the bone with open fractures,
    gunshot wounds, deep injuries and non-sterile surgical
    Operations (traumatic osteomyelitis).

    What is osteomyelitis
    Hematogenic
    osteomyelitis is more dangerous than traumatic. Most often to Him
    preceded a short period (1-4 days), during which the disease is almost
    does not show itself. A person can complain about weakness, pain
    in the muscles, lubrication in the joints, while local manifestations are missing.
    Then the temperature rises sharply, the thermometer column can rise
    up to 39-40 degrees. Pain, clearly localized in the affected area
    bones arises almost immediately. Acute, drilling or driving
    From the inside, increasing at the slightest movement - such pain is difficult
    confuse.

    Further development of the disease occurs
    very fast. The general condition is worsening, the purulent process
    applies to the surrounding muscles and skin, often develops
    sepsis. If you do not accept emergency measures, a fatal outcome is possible.

    At
    Traumatic osteomyelite disease can go to chronic
    The form in which the pus and the products of the decay of the tissue go out through
    Sweisting moves. With severe flow, the outcomes of the disease are the same as
    Hematogenous osteomyelite.



    Diagnosis of osteomyelitis

    At
    The appearance of the described symptoms immediately contact
    to a traumatologist's doctor, and if you can't go independently - call
    «ambulance». It is important to recognize the disease as soon as possible. For
    This will require a general blood test and a general urine analysis for which
    The doctor recognizes how far the inflammatory process. To
    Rate the state of affected area, perform an X-ray.
    True, it must be borne in mind that at the initial stage of the disease
    The study method is not always informative. But with
    Radioisotope Scanning Reliable Result can already be obtained
    Two days later from the date of infection. Sometimes to clarify the diagnosis
    The doctor prescribes a computer or magnetic resonance tomography of bones.



    Treatment of osteomyelitis

    Infection
    Destroy with antibiotics, and the medicine is selected
    individually, depending on the type of bacteria settled in the bone.
    Antibiotics will have to take within 4-6 weeks. Reception
    antimicrobial preparations inside are often complemented by local
    administration. Surgical treatment is widely applied. In the course
    Operations cleaned purulent focus, remove dead soft tissues, and when
    need to carry out resection (excision) of the damaged bone.
