Miley Cyrus’s “brutal infection” has doctors who discuss possible causes
After filming a music video on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Miley Cyrus said she was recently hospitalized with a knee infection, which led doctors to evaluate how certain environments can expose people to harmful bacteria.
In an episode on Thursday of “Jimmy Kimmel Live”, Cyrus, 32, recalled the moment when he filmed his visual album “Something Beautiful” and then landed at the ICU.
“I filmed this video in October [2024] For November on Thanksgiving, they put me in the ICU for a moment, just for a moment, “said the singer.

Cyrus described rolling on the sidewalk as part of its outbreak, and shortly after, it developed symptoms that required intensive medical care.
“I caught something,” he said. “My leg began to disintegrate … Around the buckwheat area. And then the doctor says: ‘Do you have any idea why would you have such a brutal infection in your kneecap?'”

While the singer did not reveal a specific diagnosis, medical experts say that his case is a reminder of how everyday public spaces can present hidden health risks.
“Streptococcal bacteria or staphylies are common causes of skin infection such as cellulite.”
Dr. Marc Siegel, Clinical Professor of Medicine at the Nyu Langone Medical Center and Senior Medical Analyst of News, said that extremely aggressive bacteria are not common in urban environments.
“The bacteria that eat meat in the streets of the city are very rare,” said Siegel, who did not treat Cyrus, News Digital. “Rat urine can cause leptospirosis, a bacterium that causes flu -like symptoms.”

The doctor said he believes that the probable cause was a more typical bacterial infection instead of something exotic, although common bacteria can cause serious skin reactions.
“Streptococcal bacteria or staphylies are common causes of skin infection such as cellulite,” Siegel said. “Bacteria can be found [on streets]like E. coli, Shigella and enterococos, which are of the fecal matter, and can reach the bottom of the shoes, “he added.

These infections generally do not originate in the street itself, the doctor said, but it can develop when the skin comes into contact with the bacteria, which can occur during the exhibition near surfaces such as sidewalks.
The risk of infection often increases when the skin is broken or irritated, allowing bacteria to enter the body more easily.

Even minor cuts and scratches can become link doors for infection when exposed to contaminated surfaces, according to Dr. Ken Perry, an emergency medicine doctor in Charleston, South Carolina.
“For most patients, these infections contract with open skin wounds or some other rape in the skin barrier,” said Perry, who also did not treat Cyrus, News Digital.
These infections are generally treated easily with common antibiotics, according to the doctor.

The filming of Cyrus put it in close contact with one of the most busy sidewalks in the country, which doctors say it can increase the danger.
“In the case of Miley Cyrus, he says he contracted this after arriving on the ground during the filming of his music video,” said Perry.

“Pedestrian traffic could easily contaminate the area with bacteria from animal or even human sources,” he hypothesized.
“For the majority of the population, shooting on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is not a common behavior, but even casual interaction could put an individual in contact with harmful bacteria,” Perry added.
Hygiene as the first line of defense
Doctors agree that basic hygiene is one of the best ways to avoid infection, especially in public spaces.
“The best way to prevent this from happening is to be annoying with hygiene,” Perry said.

“We know how to wash our hands after being in public to prevent bacteria from transferring to the mucous membranes of our eyes, or even ingest bacteria.”
Experts recommend covering wounds and washing them as soon as possible if they are exposed to public environments.

“If the cut or scraping occurs while in public, be sure to wash with soap and soap,” Perry advised. “If an individual has a cut or a little rest on the skin, it is better to keep it covered, especially when it is in public.”
