What is the history of Osteomyelitis?
When was Osteomyelitis discovered? What is the story of this discovery? Was it coincidence or not?
I would have thought that Osteomyelitis has been around as long as man has. The difficult thing is to diagnose it. Many must have lost limbs and their lives in the 1st and 2nd world wars battlefields to Osteomyelitis. Even today its still difficult to diagnose with many patients suffering further damage because of late diagnoses.

According to history osteomyelitis is ancient dating back millions of years. It was found in the spine of a reptile I believe. Hippocrates found it in humans. Auguste Nelaton was the surgeon who brought it to light in 1844.
