Abstract

Although osteomyelitis is a difficult problem, certain conditions make it even more difficult to address.

In this article, we discuss these conditions, their pathophysiology, and highlight the special considerations in treating osteomyelitis in patients with these comorbidities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
