What is an infection of the bone... spelled somewhat like ostimiultus?
Answers:    Bone infection is called osteomyelitis.
omyelitis is an acute or chronic bone infection, usually caused by germs.

Bone infection can be caused by bacteria or by fungus. The infection that causes osteomyelitis commonly starts in another part of the body and spreads to the bone through the blood. An injury may have made the artificial bone more likely to develop the infection. Source(s): http://www.drugs.com/enc/osteomyelitis.h…
