Osteomyelitis is an infective process that encompasses all of the bone (osseous) components, including the bone marrow. When it is chronic, it can lead to bone sclerosis and deformity. [citation needed] Chronic osteomyelitis may be due to the presence of intracellular bacteria. [19]
Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is a rare condition (1:1,000,000), in which the bones have lesions, inflammation, and pain. It is called multifocal because it can appear in different parts of the body, primarily bones, and osteomyelitis because it is very similar to that disease, although CRMO appears to be without any infection .
These diseases share some clinical, radiologic, and pathologic characteristics. An entity initially known as chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis was first described in 1972. [ 1 ] Subsequently, in 1978, [ 2 ] several cases of were associated with blisters on the palms and soles ( palmoplantar pustulosis ).
The infection can be classified as acute or chronic depending on the severity of the onset of the case, [4] [5] where acute patients often experience better outcomes than those living with the chronic symptoms that are characteristic of the disease. Although vertebral osteomyelitis is found in patients across a wide range of ages, the infection ...
Osteomyelitis of the jaws is osteomyelitis (which is infection and inflammation of the bone marrow, sometimes abbreviated to OM) which occurs in the bones of the jaws (i.e. maxilla or the mandible). Historically, osteomyelitis of the jaws was a common complication of odontogenic infection (infections of the teeth). Before the antibiotic era, it ...
Garre's sclerosing osteomyelitis is a type of chronic osteomyelitis also called periostitis ossificans and Garré's sclerosing osteomyelitis. It is a rare disease. [1] It mainly affects children and young adults. [2] It is associated with a low grade infection, which may be due to dental caries (cavities in the teeth). [citation needed]
To tamp down chronic inflammation, try to eat a variety of foods to get the nutrients you need to support a healthy gut, which can help keep inflammation under control and reduce disease risk.
