Primary Subacute Pyogenic Osteomyelitis
It is common experience that pyogenic osteomyelitis varies in severity from an acute or fulminating illness to a comparatively mild one. Since 1944, when antibiotics, with or without surgical drainage, have been used successfully in treatment, the severely ill patient has been seen less often, and there has been a marked increase in the number of patients presenting with a mild or subacute illn...
متن کاملActinomycotic osteomyelitis in a child.

In this group open culture and biopsy were necessary in order to exclude bony malignancy, and a raised erythrocyte sedimentation rate proved a useful diagnostic aid. All the pat...
