    Journal: Clin Infect Dis; 2005 Feb 15; 40(4):616-9. PubMed ID: 15712088.
    Abstract:
    Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis is a rare inflammatory form of osteomyelitis of unknown etiology. It affects children and adolescents, and signs and symptoms include recurrent episodes of bone pain, tenderness, possible constitutional upset, and increased inflammatory markers. We present 2 patients with cases of chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis affecting the sacrum who responded dramatically to treatment with corticosteroids.
