Solution
The correct answer is b. if only W and Y are correct.
Explanation:
W. Poorly treated diabetics are at increased risk of developing osteomyelitis following initial infection. This is correct. Poorly controlled diabetes can lead to a weakened immune system, making it easier for an infection to spread to the bone.
X. Most cases of osteomyelitis are caused by fungi. This is incorrect. Most cases of osteomyelitis are caused by bacteria, not fungi.
Y. Osteomyelitis commonly results in an abscess forming in bone. This is correct. An abscess, which is a pocket of pus, can form in the bone or nearby tissues due to the infection.
Z. Oral antibiotic treatment will typically resolve an established osteomyelitis. This is incorrect. Osteomyelitis is a serious condition that typically requires intravenous antibiotics or surgery to remove portions of the bone that are infected. Oral antibiotics are not typically strong enough to treat this condition.
