  • Title: [Recurrent chronic multifocal bone infection].
    Author: Kligman M, Bernfeld B, Roffman M.
    Journal: Harefuah; 1997 May 01; 132(9):627-9, 679. PubMed ID: 9225575.
    Abstract:
    We present a 9-year-old girl who had chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis. The bones involved were: right clavicle, distal fibula (bilateral), left sacroiliac and right wrist. After 10 years of follow-up; she is asymptomatic but presents radiological evidence of lesions in the right clavicle and left sacroiliac joint. The diagnosis was made by exclusion criteria. The biopsy and results of cultures from various bones were negative 4 times. Although chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis is rare, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute or chronic osteomyelitis and neoplasma. Its recognition avoids unnecessary laboratory tests and antibiotic therapy.
