What is the life expectancy of someone with Osteomyelitis?
Life expectancy of people with Osteomyelitis and recent progresses and researches in Osteomyelitis
Unfortunately, osteomyelitis was a terminal diagnosis even 25-50 years ago. However, when hit hard and dealt with with immediacy and strength from competent medical providers and state-of-the-art antibiotics, remission is possible and an eventual reality for most. Chronic pain needs to be monitored closely, and any changes need to be reported to the patients care team immediately.

Impossible to answer. It can and does kill but it is rare these days. I was 9 I am now 70 so we know for certain 61 years is achievable. Apart from using a Hyperbaric chamber to help with flooding the wound with blood and hopefully this will help with the wound healing.

There is no life expectancy limit to my knowledge. I plan to live to be 92 (that's how old my grandmother was when she died). I am 67 now and plan to reach my goal.
