Abstract
Most cases of osteomyelitis are of bacterial origin and staphylococci are the most common agent. Anaerobic osteomyelitis is much less common. In most cases, infection originates in another site and spreads directly from post-traumatic or operative infections. A proportion of osteomyelitis patients suffer from peripheral vascular disease, especially diabetes. Approximately 20% of cases are haematogenous, with skin, urinary and respiratory infections thought to predispose to osteomyelitis. Although acute haematogenous osteomyelitis may occur at any age, patients are usually under 15 years old. The long bones are those most commonly affected.
期刊介绍：
Monographs in this series have given the field of cytology an outstanding set of reference works. Volumes perform the important function of correlating extensive basic and clinical findings and applying these to discuss how innovations in cytology can improve patient diagnosis and management. Readers will find descriptions of techniques offering greater simplicity, speed, patient comfort and cost effectiveness as well as improved diagnostic precision. The immense utility of these texts has resulted in the release of updated second editions of earlier volumes, which continue to meet the popular demand for access to this material.
