The 16 pages that link to Osteomyelitis, each with the reason it gives.

• Staphylococcus aureusRelated: S. aureus is a leading cause of bone infection in children and adults.

• OsteosarcomaCompared with: Bone infection can produce pain and imaging changes that resemble a bone tumor.

• Septic arthritisRelated: Joint infection can extend into adjacent bone, complicating treatment.

• Erythrocyte sedimentation rateRelated: ESR may help monitor treatment response because it can remain elevated during bone infection.

• Avascular necrosisCompared with: Infection can destroy bone, unlike the primary blood-supply failure defining this condition.

• AbscessRelated: An adjacent abscess can extend into bone, while bone infection can also seed nearby soft tissue.

• Bone tumorCompared with: Bone infection can produce pain and imaging changes that mimic a tumor.

• Congenital insensitivity to painRelated: Pain-free injuries and wounds may delay recognition of bone infection.

• FlucloxacillinRelated: Flucloxacillin may treat bone infection when susceptible staphylococci are identified or strongly suspected.

• Skin infectionRelated: An infection near bone can extend into it or spread there through the bloodstream.

• GangreneCompared with: Bone infection may complicate a gangrenous wound but is a distinct diagnosis.

• Staphylococcal infectionBroader topic: S. aureus is a leading cause of bacterial bone infection.

• CloxacillinBroader topic: Cloxacillin is used for bone infections caused by susceptible staphylococci.

• Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosisRelated: Repeated unrecognized injuries can progress to bone infection and joint damage.

• Bone (anatomy)Related: Bone’s blood supply and marrow can provide routes and sites for infection.

• Ingrown nailBroader topic: Rarely, a severe or prolonged toe infection can extend to bone.
