  Chronic osteomyelitis may develop if osteomyelitis is not treated successfully. It is a persistent infection that is very difficult to get rid of. Sometimes, chronic osteomyelitis is undetectable for a long time, causing no symptoms for months or years. More commonly, chronic osteomyelitis causes bone pain, recurring infections in the soft tissue over the bone, and constant or intermittent drainage of pus through the skin. Such drainage occurs when a passage (sinus tract) forms from the infected bone to the skin surface and pus drains through the sinus tract.

  Osteomyelitis is the medical term for inflammation in a bone. It’s usually caused by a bacterial infection. It often affects the long bones of the arms and legs but can happen in any bone. […] Kids with osteomyelitis (ah-stee-oh-my-eh-LIE-tis) often feel pain in the infected bone. They also might: have a fever and chills, feel tired or nauseated, generally not feel well, have sore, red, and swollen skin above the infected bone. […] Very young children might stop using the infected limb and protect it from being touched. They may also be fussy or eat less. […] In teens with osteomyelitis, it tends to happen after an accident or injury. The injured area may begin to hurt again after seeming to get better. […] If your child has a fever and bone pain, visit the doctor right away. Osteomyelitis can get worse within hours or days and become much harder to treat. […] Most children with osteomyelitis feel better within a few days of starting treatment. IV antibiotics often are switched to oral form in 5 to 10 days. Kids usually get antibiotics for at least a month, and sometimes longer depending on symptoms and blood test results.

  People have pain in one part of the bone, fever, and weight loss. […] In acute osteomyelitis spread through the blood, infections of the leg or arm bones may cause fever and, sometimes days later, pain in the infected bone. The area over the bone may be sore, red, warm, and swollen, and movement may be painful. The person may lose weight and feel tired. […] When osteomyelitis results from infections in nearby soft tissues or direct invasion by an organism, the area over the bone swells and becomes painful. Abscesses may form in the surrounding tissue. These infections may not cause fever. […] Vertebral osteomyelitis usually develops gradually, causing persistent back pain and tenderness when touched. Pain worsens with movement and is not relieved by resting, applying heat, or taking pain relievers (analgesics). People often do not have fever, which is usually the most obvious sign of an infection. Pain may be continuous.

  Rarely, vertebral osteomyelitis may affect the nerves in the spine. If the infection travels into the spinal canal, this can result in an epidural abscess. Depending on how extensive the infection is and what portion of the spine is involved, additional conditions and symptoms may develop. If an epidural abscess is present in the cervical (neck) or thoracic (upper back) portions of the spine, paralysis can occur in the legs or in both the arms and legs. If the epidural abscess is present in the lumbar (lower) portion of the spine, it can result in cauda equina syndrome. Cauda equina syndrome results from the compression (squeezing) of the cauda equina the sac of nerves and nerve roots at the base of the spinal cord. It is a rare but serious disorder, and a medical emergency.

  https://www.medicinenet.com/osteomyelitis/article.htm

  People with osteomyelitis may feel pain over the affected bone. […] Signs and symptoms of osteomyelitis can vary greatly. In children, osteomyelitis most often occurs more quickly. Osteomyelitis in children is most likely caused by bacteria that travel through the bloodstream (bacteremia) and spread to the bone. Hematogenous osteomyelitis is the medical term for the spread of bacteria through the blood to infect the bone. Children often develop pain or tenderness over the affected bone, and they may have difficulty or inability to use the affected limb or bear weight, or walk due to severe pain. They may also have a fever, chills, and redness at the site of the infected area. […] In adults, the symptoms and signs often develop more gradually and include fever, chills, irritability, swelling or redness over the infected bone, drainage of pus, stiffness, and nausea. In people with diabetes, peripheral neuropathy, or peripheral vascular disease, there may be no pain or fever. The only sign may be an area of skin breakdown that is worsening or not healing. In osteomyelitis of the spine (vertebral osteomyelitis) or the spinal discs (discitis), the only symptom may be back pain.

• #1 Osteomyelitis – Infectious Disease Advisor

  https://www.infectiousdiseaseadvisor.com/ddi/osteomyelitis/

  Osteomyelitis occurs when inflammation, trauma, or ischemia compromises the integrity of the bone, allowing microorganisms to bind to damaged bone tissue. Proper treatment of osteomyelitis requires a multidisciplinary approach involving both pharmacologic and surgical care. Treatment consists primarily of long courses of antibiotics and surgical debridement of the affected tissue. The development of chronic osteomyelitis and accompanying bone damage is a serious risk. […] The clinical presentation of osteomyelitis can also vary based on the severity and location of the infection. Acute symptoms tend to develop 2 weeks after the onset of disease, while chronic symptoms last longer up to months or even years of persistent infection. Symptoms can include fever and chills; malaise; nausea and vomiting; nonhealing ulcers; pain (including back pain); purulent drainage; redness; and swelling. Pain is typically localized to the area near the site of infection and can be dull and mild in cases of chronic osteomyelitis. Pain may worsen with movement. Acute osteomyelitis tends to have more intense symptoms and is more likely to cause fever. Advanced or chronic osteomyelitis can lead to the formation of sinus tracts that drain from the infection site through the skin. Nonhealing ulcers, including diabetic foot ulcers and decubitus ulcers, may indicate underlying osteomyelitis.

  Osteomyelitis is a serious infection and inflammation of the bone, but the prognosis (outlook) is good when it is diagnosed and treated quickly. […] Symptoms of osteomyelitis include fever, chills, sweating, fatigue, feeling unwell, and bone pain, swelling, redness, and warmth in the infected area. […] Acute osteomyelitis refers to an infection of less than 4 weeks duration. Chronic osteomyelitis is a bone infection that has lasted more than 4 weeks. […] The first stage of osteomyelitis is when the bone infection is limited to the medullary cavity of the bone (the hollow part that contains the bone marrow). The second stage involves cortical bone (the dense solid part of the bone that surrounds the marrow space), and it usually occurs from a direct infection from nearby tissues. Third-stage osteomyelitis involves both medullary and cortical bone but does not affect the full diameter of the bone and does not affect bone stability. Stage 4 osteomyelitis involves the entire bone along with a loss of bone stability. Additionally, healthcare providers add A, B, or C to the staging of osteomyelitis based on the absence or presence of local or systemic complicating factors.

However, they may have an associated history of accidental or surgical trauma (including dental procedures). […] Diabetic foot ulcers: These may be present and the pain masked by neuropathy. Clinical diagnosis may be complicated by the absence of local signs of infection, such as purulent drainage and local erythema, warmth, and tenderness. Often the only systemic sign of diabetic foot osteomyelitis is recalcitrant hyperglycaemia; fever and chills are absent in up to two thirds of patients. […] Chronic osteomyelitis: Patients may have all or only a few of the following: Previous acute infection (either unresponsive to treatment or relapsing following treatment). Localised bone pain. Erythema and swelling over the affected area. Non-healing ulcer. Draining sinus tracts. Decreased range of motion of adjacent joints. Chronic fatigue. Generalised malaise.

  Acute osteomyelitis is a surgical and medical emergency necessitating immediate antibiotic therapy, surgical drainage, and secondary procedures as needed. The prognosis of osteomyelitis depends on etiology, patient factors, and time to institution of suitable treatment, as well as a host of other factors (eg, location, organism, and antibiotic susceptibility and sensitivity). […] Chronic osteomyelitis is prolonged in its course and can be extremely debilitating, with episodes of recurring infection interspersed with quiescent periods. The organisms become increasingly resistant, and local treatment carries more value than systemic therapy in the absence of acute exacerbation. […] The complications of osteomyelitis, with all the comorbid factors and etiologic factors having been taken into account, can be extremely varied and may include sepsis and multiorgan dysfunction, stiffness, deformity, chronic discharging sinuses, limb-length discrepancies, chronic pain, loss of function, amputation, and even secondary cancers in sinus sites.
