osteomyelitis
Osteomyelitis is a medical condition characterized by the infection or inflammation of the bone or bone marrow. It occurs when bacteria or fungi enter the bone tissue from the bloodstream, due to injury or surgery, or from surrounding tissue. This infection can lead to the death of bone tissue and result in loss of function in the affected bones. Symptoms often include pain, fever, chills, and swelling at the site of the infection. Treatment typically involves antibiotics or, in severe cases, surgery to remove dead bone tissue.
