Infection diagnosis
Is there any diagnostic test to confirm infection in bone, muscle or skin other than culture sensitivity test, CRP, ESR? My husband is suffering from osteomyelitis. There was pus coming out of skin before however it has stopped after antibiotics, but we still want to confirm if there is any infection left in the body.
