Geriatric Research Education and Clinical Center (GRECC) 111O (W), VA Northeast Ohio Healthcare System, 10701 East Blvd., Cleveland, OH, 44106, USA.
Background: Population-based surveillance studies may underestimate osteomyelitis caused by Group B Streptococcus (GBS). We analyzed cases of GBS osteomyelitis, including patients diagnosed using an expanded case definition that incorporates cultures from non-sterile sites, as well as cultures from normally sterile sites.
Methods: We retrospectively examined a cohort of veterans with the diagnosis of osteomyelitis between 2008 and 2017.
