Osteomyelitis

Osteomyelitis is a severe bone infection often caused by bacteria, particularly Staphylococcus aureus, though it can also result from fungal or viral infections. This condition can lead to bone destruction, chronic infection, and systemic complications if not treated promptly. At the 2nd Edition of the Infectious Diseases World Conference, experts can discuss advancements in the diagnosis and management of osteomyelitis, focusing on early detection through imaging and microbiological testing, as well as the role of antimicrobial therapy and surgical intervention. Key topics will also include the challenges of managing osteomyelitis in diabetic patients and those with implanted medical devices and strategies to prevent infections and improve patient outcomes.
 
Key Points:
  • Causes: Primarily caused by Staphylococcus aureus but also by other bacteria, fungi, or viruses.
  • Diagnosis: Focus on early detection through imaging and microbiological testing.
  • Treatment: Emphasis on antimicrobial therapy and surgical intervention.
  • Challenges: Special considerations for diabetic patients and those with implanted devices.
  • Prevention: Strategies to reduce the risk of osteomyelitis, especially in high-risk populations.
