title: [Drepanocytic osseous infections (osteitis and osteomyelitis) (author's transl)].
abstract: Osseous infections have a special importance among the various polymorphic osteoarticular troubles of drepanocytemia. From 92 cases, the authors emphasize 4 points: --Osteitis and osteomyelitis are frequent, specially in the homozygotic form. --Salmonellae are the prevailing pathogenic bacterias. --Osteomyelitis caused by staphylococcus have, in drepanocytic patients, a more serious and more expanding evolution than in other patients. --Anatomic and radiologic features as well as evolution are different in the staphylococcal forms and in the salmonellal ones in which, most often, surgery may be discarded.
