The exact cost of a two-week hospitalization for osteomyelitis will depend on the condition and cannot be generalized. The approximate price range is $10,000 to $20,000 or more.
Osteomyelitis is clinically categorized as acute or chronic. Usually the treatment of acute osteomyelitis requires the use of advanced antibiotics, so the cost will be a little higher. The cost is around $10,000 dollars. Once the infection is controlled in acute osteomyelitis, recovery is usually faster.
In the case of chronic osteomyelitis, treatment usually takes longer as well and may take about a month. In addition most of the pathogenic bacteria in chronic myelitis have become resistant, so a higher level of antibiotics is needed. It may also be necessary to remove dead bone from the lesion, and that requires an epidural anesthetic to remove the lesion. It will also cost more, probably $20,000 or more.
The exact cost of a two-week hospitalization for osteomyelitis will also vary more depending on the underlying disease, regional differences, etc., and you will need to consult with the doctor in charge.
