b. Often arises following development of deep cellulitis
c. Results in tenderness in the region of infection that is diffuse, not localized
d. Causes bony changes visible radiographically within 48 h of the beginning of
symptoms
e. Requires antibiotic therapy usually for 10 to 14 days

Re: antibiotic keepemalive - 10-04-11 20:22 My reasoning was: I wasn't sure about "a" (it's been a while since I've looked over my micro pages)... I knew "b" was already a correct fact, but kept on going.... "c" I knew was wrong because osteomyelitis can pretty much be pointed to with one finger once it starts hurting.... "d" is a real lie because there's no way bone changes that fast (unless you fall and break one majorly)... and "e"... well, I remember someone saying that anything-myelitis needs pretty long-term pharm to make it better. So I went back and kept my "b". :-)
