Abstract
The acute form of osteomyelitis in the adult is distinctly uncommon except for that seen in the vertebrae. A significant increase in osteomyelitis due to gram-negative rods has been observed. The proper choice of antibacterial drugs is essential. Surgical treatment is still required for removal of infected and scarred tissue. Inadequate removal will lead to treatment failure. However, the defect produced in soft tissue and bone may tax the surgeon's ingenuity.Entities:
