Osteomyelitis is inflammation and or swelling of the bone. The infection site can either be at the bone or from another part of the body that has spread to the bone. Staphylococcus aureus and staphylococcus epidermis are responsible for most cases due to being a part of normal skin flora. Salmonella is rarely reported and accounts for 0.45% of all causative agents of salmonella. Salmonella osteomyelitis in immunocompetent adults is uncommon and occurs in approximately 0.8% of all Salmonella infections. Myositis is muscle inflammation that can be due to both infectious and non-infectious causes. Infectious causes can be classified into pyogenic or non-pyogenic. Infection-related myositis occurs due to bacterial, viral, fungal, mycobacterial, or parasitic infections as the root cause. Bacteria and fungi are the most common cause of focal myositis. Myositis with Salmonella species is rare and has been reported with Salmonella Typhi and Salmonella Enteritidis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
