Infections might strike Bones

Osteomyelitis is a bone infection usually caused by bacteria or, less frequently, a fungus.

The U.S. National Library of Medicine says these factors increase your risk of developing osteomyelitis:

•  Being diabetic.
•  Undergoing hemodialysis.
•  Injecting drugs.
•  Having a poor supply of blood.
•  Having had a recent trauma.
