Young girl diagnosed with chronic recurrent multi-focal osteomyelitis
Journal Title: International Journal of Clinical Rheumatology - Year 2018, Vol 13, Issue 2
Abstract
Chronic Recurrent Multi-focal Osteomyelitis is a rare form of inflammatory disorder diagnosed after exclusion of malignancy, and infection. It is rare due to obscure knowledge of physicians regarding this disease and lack of any specific clinical parameter. We present a case of an 8 years old girl who was being managed by infectious disease department for almost a year before being referred to us. She had taken prolonged courses of antimicrobials during this time.
