Osteomyelitis or bone infection is due to bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus and during the COVID-19 pandemic; there are some reports of COVID-19. Sudden onset knee pain without a history of injury can make you suspect COVID-19. It is recommended to pay attention to the history of infection with COVID-19 in patients with osteomyelitis and to use Magnetic Resonance Imaging for diagnosis and treatment (drugs with or without debridement). It seems logical that any infection in the differential diagnosis should also include COVID-19 because it also affects the eyes, kidneys, lungs and other organs.
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.
