Bone infection is most often caused by bacteria. But it can also be caused by fungi or other germs. When a person has osteomyelitis, bacteria or other germs can spread to the bone from infected skin, muscles, or tendons next to the bone. This can happen under the wound skin. The infection can start in another part of the body, and it can also spread to the bone through the blood. This is a fatal problem. That’s why it’s important to know all about bone infection or osteomyelitis.
