Osteomyelitis caused by Aspergillus

Osteomyelitis Caused by Aspergillus

Osteomyelitis is a severe infection in the bone caused by bacterial or fungal microorganisms. Aspergillus, a type of fungus, can cause osteomyelitis, especially in immunocompromised people. When left untreated, osteomyelitis caused by Aspergillus can lead to permanent damage to the infected bone and surrounding tissue.

Risk Factors for Aspergillus Osteomyelitis

There are several risk factors that increase an individual's risk of developing Aspergillus osteomyelitis. These include:

  • Weakened Immune System: People with weakened or suppressed immune systems, such as those who have HIV or AIDS, are more likely to develop Aspergillus osteomyelitis.
  • Diabetes: People with diabetes, especially those with uncontrolled diabetes, are more at risk of developing Aspergillus osteomyelitis.
