What condition is typically characterized by an acute or chronic bone infection, commonly caused by bacteria, and may necessitate intravenous antibiotics or surgical intervention?
Osteomyelitis is an infection of bone tissue. It can develop when bacteria or fungi invade a bone from the bloodstream, due to injury, or from an infection spreading from nearby tissue. Emergency nurses must be able to recognize signs of this potentially serious condition to initiate appropriate interventions.
