Can osteomyelitis kill you?
I have suffered with Osteomyelitis for three years, Osteomyelitis is an infection that occurs in different parts of the bone, mainly long bones like the tibia, or femur, and by joints. Causes of Osteomyelitis can be through injuries where infection passes through the bone and whatnot. Symptoms may include, stiffness, intense pain, fevers, inflammation, swelling and reddishness. Osteomyelitis has no casualties, however, there's been some reports that Osteomyelitis can have certain bacteria that can spread to organs. In my case, Osteomyelitis can't kill you, but if it is left untreated, it can infect the bone to the point where it kills the structure, eventually disabling it to no use, that is called Bone Death. Osteomyelitis can effect bone growths, and eat up the bones inside the narrow parts. Anti-biotics either intravenously via PICC line (peripherally inserted central catheter) or pharmaceuticals are able to treat these infections, through diagnosis you may need MRI, X-ray scans, and bloodworks, and a family history check of bone-related diseases. There are two types of Osteomyelitis, Chronic and Acute, Chronic, chronic being that it can last a really long time perhaps 2-4 months, and acute, lasting momentarily short time perhaps a week to two. For those who are enduring their hypochondria about this, understand that Osteomyelitis is a bone-related infection, that can infect other parts unlike bones. Then again, it is treatable, and if you're suffering from it, let doctors be notified of it.
