Hematogenous osteomyelitis (HOM) is rare in developed nations but significant in tropical regions due to specific diseases. Diagnosis relies on bone examination, with antibiotics for acute cases and surgery for chronic or failed treatments.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Orthopedics
  • Microbiology

Context:

  • Hematogenous osteomyelitis (HOM) is uncommon in industrialized countries.
  • HOM presents higher morbidity in tropical regions, linked to sickle cell disease, thalassemia, HIV, and tuberculosis.
  • Infections involve pyogenic bacteria, mycobacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites.

Purpose:

  • To review the epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of adult hematogenous osteomyelitis.
  • To highlight diagnostic challenges and differential diagnoses for osteomyelitis.
  • To outline current treatment strategies for acute and chronic HOM.

Summary:

  • Histopathologic and microbiologic bone examination remain the gold standard for diagnosing osteomyelitis (OM), despite advanced imaging.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Differential diagnoses include nonbacterial osteomyelitic lesions and malignant bone tumors.
  • Acute HOM management involves antibiotics; chronic or refractory cases require surgical debridement.

    • Impact:

    • Provides a comprehensive overview of HOM for clinicians.
    • Emphasizes the importance of accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment selection.
    • Contributes to understanding HOM's global health impact, particularly in endemic regions.
