00:00Bone and Joint Awareness Week is held this 3rd week of October.

00:05It is important to pay attention to diseases that can affect our bones and joints.

00:12One of the serious conditions that we should be aware of is osteomyelitis.

00:17It is an infection in the bones that can lead to serious complications if not treated early.

00:24We will be joined by orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jose Puhalte Jr. to discuss the details of this issue.

00:32Good morning, Doc.

00:35Good morning. Rise and shine, Philippines. Good morning, Philippines.

00:40Good morning, Dr. Puhalte. This is Diana Trayan.

00:42Doc, osteomyelitis is not an easy disease for the public.

00:47Can you give us some additional information on what osteomyelitis is?

00:57That's true, Diana.

00:58People with osteomyelitis are used to infections in the nose and throat.

01:07But it is hard to understand.

01:09There are also infections in the bones.

01:12This is a very serious disease.

01:19It can only be cured if you have an infection in the bones.

01:29It is caused by bacteria and fungal infection.

01:36It can spread to the bones.

01:39Secondly, it can also come from blood.

01:42You may have an infection in the lungs.

01:45It can spread to the bones due to blood circulation.

01:57Staphylococcus aureus is a typical bacteria in our skin.

02:11But if it enters the body, it can cause an infection in the bones.

02:17Doc, you mentioned earlier that it should be taken seriously.

02:20What are the symptoms that a person with osteomyelitis should be aware of?

02:27If you have osteomyelitis, the first thing you will feel is that the area is very painful.

02:36For example, your teeth will hurt.

02:40You will also feel fever.

02:44The temperature will rise.

02:48In the future, if you have an infection, it will come out.

02:54This is what we call acute osteomyelitis.

03:00If you have not been given the right medicine,

03:04after 6 months, this is what we call chronic osteomyelitis.

03:12This is what we see in the Philippine Orthopaedic Center.

03:19Doc, who is at risk for this condition?

03:22Is there a specific age group?

03:24Can a child or an infant have this condition?

03:31There is no age group.

03:34At risk here are those who have had an accident,

03:39the elderly, those who have diabetes,

03:44and those who have had surgery, especially those who have had an infection.

03:51We will add immunocompromised people here.

03:56This means people who have cancer,

03:59people who have chronic diseases,

04:06such as diabetes and stones,

04:12these are the people at risk for osteomyelitis.

04:19Doc, if osteomyelitis is not treated,

04:22what are the possible complications that can happen?

04:25Does it have long-term effects on the human body?

04:28How is the fatality rate of this disease?

04:33It is not fatal.

04:34But if the infection spreads,

04:40we will have what is called sepsis,

04:43and the person may die.

04:46The biggest problem for surgeons and doctors

04:50is that if the infection does not spread,

04:56the child's disease and infection will continue.

05:01And of course, the bones will no longer be used.

05:06What will be the cause of this disease

05:09is what we call post-infectious arthritis.

05:13The bones are damaged, the bones are damaged,

05:17and it is no longer used.

05:19And secondly, the area with osteomyelitis may also be cut

05:28because it was not spread.

05:34How is this diagnosed, Doc?

05:36And what are the treatment options available?

05:41The usual diagnosis can be seen in the x-ray

05:45and in the laboratory.

05:47The blood parameters are not correct.

05:53For example, our white blood cells are very high.

05:57And the treatment we are talking about

06:01needs to be given the right antibiotics.

06:07This is derived from the culture and sensitivity

06:18that the right antibiotics are given.

06:22Aside from this, the patient with osteomyelitis is operated

06:27because the flesh and bones need to be cleaned.

06:33We also provide antibiotics

06:39that are placed inside the bones,

06:41what we call antibiotic beads.

06:45Oral means you can drink it.

06:47Intravenous means the antibiotic will be placed in the root.

06:51And thirdly, in orthopedic surgeons,

06:54we put antibiotics inside the bone itself

06:58so that the level of the antibiotic is high

07:03and the infection can be opened.

07:06Doc, for those who have a high risk of this disease,

07:12what are the steps they can take to avoid this?

07:17Our health is important.

07:23So that we don't become immunocompromised

07:27or our immune system goes down.

07:29And we don't get this kind of disease,

07:34this serious bone infection.

07:37That's why we also need to take care of our bone health.

07:43We eat the right food.

07:46High in calcium and protein.

07:53And we take vitamins and minerals like calcium,

07:58vitamin D, and vitamin K.

08:01We learned a lot from Doc Pohalte.

08:05And now, Bone and Joint Awareness Week.

08:08It's important to talk about these things

08:10so that our knowledge and understanding

08:13about the health of our bones and joints can be improved.

08:16Thank you very much, Dr. Pohalte,

08:18for sharing your important information

08:20about osteomyelitis and answering our questions.

08:24Thanks, Doc.
