This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: chronic osteomyelitis, Causative and risk factors Salmonella infections of the GI tract may spread to the bone, ulcerations of skin resulting in sinus tract formation, localized pain, and drainage., Diagnostic Tests definitive diagnosis can be made through bone biopsy, this area of necrotic bone seperates from surrounding bone tissue and sequestrum is formed The presence of sequestrum retards bone healing and causes superimposed infection often in the form of bone abscess, once inflammation is established the vessels in the area become thrombosed and relase exudate into the bony tissue ischemia of bone tissue follows and necrotic bone results, S/Sx drainage from the affected site, Causative and risk factors Bone surgery, animal bites, and puncture wounds, Treatments hyperbaric oxygen therapy will help in the healing process, S/Sx elevated WBC count, but may be normal value for chronic conditions MY patient has a low count??, invasion by one or more pathogenic microorganism stimulating the inflammatory response in bone tissue Inflammation produces an increased vascularity and edema oten involving the surrounding soft tissue, Treatments bone grafts and bone segment transfers, Causative and risk factors bacteremia,, Causative and risk factors bone that ahs a rich vascular supply and a marrow cavity. favors pathogenic microbes, CBC, and blood culture to identify the organism Both aerobic and anaerobic cultures, Diagnostic Tests ESR rate may be normal early in course but rises as condition progresses, Causative and risk factors UTI in men tend to spread to the lower vertebrae, S/Sx fever, swelling and erythema are less common in chronic conditions, Diagnostic Tests bone scan using technetium or gallium, S/Sx Bone pain described as constant, localized, pulsating sensation that intensifies with movement, Causative and risk factors subchronic and chronic osteomyelitis is more common in adults
