Osteomyelitis is an infection of the bone, typically caused by bacteria, although it can also result from fungi or other pathogens. It can occur due to direct infection from an open fracture or surgery, or as a result of infections spreading from nearby tissues or the bloodstream. Symptoms often include pain in the affected area, fever, and swelling. Treatment usually involves antibiotics and, in some cases, surgery to remove infected tissue.
