Bone Infection Flashcards
localized infection of bone marrow
osteomyelitis
occurs when bone integrity is interrupted
osteomyelitis occurs due to (3)
hematogenous spread contagious spread (adjacent structures/joints) direct inoculation (sx, trauma)
hematogenous osteomyelitis
after bacteremia
typically mono microbial
hematogenous osteomyelitis mc affects?
vertebrae in adults (IVDA)
long bones in children and infants
mc organisms of hematogenous osteomyelitis
staph aureus
pseudomonas and enterobacter
hematogenous osteomyelitis patho
beings inside bone and grows towards cortex (perosteal elevation)
inflammation of overlying soft tissue and sinus track development to drain thru skin
contagious or direct inoculation osteomyelitis
MC from trauma and vascular dz
polymicrobial
post trama osteomyelitis
MC adults, in tibia, due to S. aureus
begins OUTSIDE cortex and works its way towards medullary canal
abscess increases pressure and compromises O2 delivery = expand and growth of more bacteria
osteomyelitis due to vascular disease
MC due to inadequate inflammatory respond to minor trauma and invasion of multiple organisms to feet
osteomyelitis due to vascular disease pathogens
strep species entroecoccus coagulase postive and negative staphylococci gram neg bacilli anerobic organisms
acute osteomyelitis
less than 2 weeks, MC in kids
several days of dull pain, LOCALIZED tenderness, warmth and swelling, systemic symptoms
children with acute osteomyelitis
decreased ROM of extremity and pain
malaise
fevers
irritability
chronic osteomyelitis
2-3 months, MC in adults
pain, redness, swelling, DRAINING sinus tract
DM
DM osteomyelitis
exposed bone or large ulcer (>2x2 cm) OR if bone is palpable on exam = LIKELY osteomyelitis
ESR > 60 also indicated
overall, ____ is mc etiologic agent in direct inoculation and hematogenous spread osteomyelitis
staphylococcus
bones affected by osteomyelitis DM
tarsal
metatarsal
phalanges
bones affected by osteomyelitis neonates, children
long bones (hematogenous spread_
bones affected by osteomyelitis CABG
sternum
bones affected by osteomyelitis endocarditis
vertebral bodies (diskitis)
