What is osteomylitis infection of the bone?

You said it :): Osteomyelitis is "infection in the bone". The source can start from a basic skin or joint infection that is not healing well - this can be a serious infection and usually requires IV antibiotics for a period of 6 weeks or more.- hope this was helpful :).

Bone Infection: Osteomyelitis is the word or term that indicates a bone is infected. Infections in the bone are hard to treat and elimination of the infection can require surgical removal combined with antibiotics.
