Osteomyelitis is an infection of the bone, which can be caused by bacteria or fungi. It can occur from an injury, surgery, or spread through the bloodstream, leading to bone destruction if untreated.
Incidence varies by region and risk factors, estimated at 2-5 cases per 100,000 population annually. (Source: Clin Infect Dis. 2015;60(12):e139-e145)
