Abstract: (9559 Views)
In this case report we introduce 9 years old boy who had suffered recurrent bone infections including the sternum, clavicles, navicular bone, distal radius and proximal tibia since the age of 5. In every instance the diagnosis of infectious ostemyelitis was made and antibiotic therapy was instituted to which the patient did not respond. More over all the cultures taken from the affected sites were negative for bacteria, fungi and mycobacteria, and all the immunological tests which were based on the probable diagnosis of chronic granulomatous disease or other immune deficiencies proved to be negative. After being diagnosed as a case of CRMO treatment with NSAIDs successfully controlled the disease process. In 7 months follow up no new exacerbation was noted.
