Osteomyelitis
Osteomyelitis
• Osteomyelitis is an infectious process that
involves bone and its medullary cavity.
Bacteria are the usual causes of osteomyelitis
• Infecting organisms may enter bones or joints
in the following ways
– hematogenous spread
– external inoculation
– extension from an adjacent structure that is
infected
osteomyelitis
• Osteomyelitis may be classified as age ,
duration of symptoms , route of infection,
causative organism
pathophysiology
• Hematogenous
– brushing our teeth ,impetigo, otitis media,
pharyngitis, or pneumonia. Reticulo-endothelial
defense mechanisms fail, however, bacteria may
gain access to bone. In experimental studies,
previous trauma
– In children, the growth plate (transient
bacteremia)
Osteoblast
cell death
Phagocytosis cell and
endothelial cell secrete
osteoclast activating
factor>>sinus day3
Purulent exudate extend to cortex,
periosteum ( sub periosteal abscess)
and subcutaneous tissue
Involucum and sequestrum
Joint capsule
(hip,ankle,elbow
,shoulder)
Acute osteomyelitis
• osteomyelitis is an infection that is diagnosed
within 2 weeks of the onset of symptoms.
• It is more common in males (2:1 ratio), is most
often monostotic (>90%), and usually
• involves the lower extremity (90%). Parents of
children with this condition commonly
• report that their children walk with a limp, or
that they refuse to walk.
Clinical manifestation
investigation
• CBC
• ESR(48-72hr,3-5day) ,CRP(6hr,1week)
• Film antero-posterior and lateral radiographs
of the affected area
• blood culture(30%)
• aspiration of the affected area.(30-50%)
• Urine analysis
• Other : CT ,MRI, bone scan
Differential diagnosis
• Soft tissue infection
• Charcot arthropathy
• Osteonecrosis
• Gout
• Fracture
• Bursitis
• Malignancy
• Synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and
osteitis (SAPHO)
Management
S.aureus
All age
group
Age group pathogen antibiotics
Neonate-6 month Group B streptococci,
Gram-negative organisms
flucloxacillin plus a third-
generation cephalosporin like
cefotaxime +- gentamycin
6month-6 years Haemophilus influenzae flucloxacillin and cefotaxime or
cefuroxime.
Older children and previously fit
adult
Staphylococcal infections intravenous flucloxacillin
and fusidic acid.
Elderly and previously unfit
patients
Gram-negative
infections
flucloxacillin and
a second- or third-generation
cephalosporin
Patients with sickle-cell disease salmonella and/or other Gram-
negative organisms
third-generation cephalosporin
or a fluoroquinolone
like ciprofloxacin.
Heroin addicts and
immunocompromised patients
Pseudomonas aeruginosa,
Proteus mirabilis or anaerobic
Bacteroides
species)
third-generation cephalosporins
or a fluoroquinolone
Management
• ATB3-6 week or ESR<25mm/hr 3 week
• IV ATB until the patient’s condition begins to
improve and the CRP values return to normal
levels which usually takes 2–4 weeks
complication
• Epiphyseal damage
• Suppurative arthritis
• Metastatic infection
• Pathological fracture
• Chronic osteomyelitis
Subacute osteomyelitis
• Clinical :fever , pain
• ESR , CRP สูงไม่มาก H/C neg
• Film lytic ,sclerotic border
• IV ATB 1 week then oral high dose4-6 week
Chronic osteomyelitis
• Sequestrum , involucum , chronic sinus
drainage
• Surgery: debridement sequestrectomy
,saucerization
• IV ATB pre-op,post-op 7days then high does
oral ATB untill 6 weeks or ESR<25
Take home message
• Osteomyelitis , involucum , sequestrum
• Early detection, prevention
• Clinical fever, sign of inflammation (septic
arthritis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis ,
cellulitis, pyomyositis )
• ATB 3-6 week (IV 2-4 week then high dose oral
form) broad-spectrum empiric therapy
