Multifocal subacute pyogenic osteomyelitis in a child. A case report.
The clinical features of multifocal subacute pyogenic osteomyelitis are: insidious onset; the absence of toxic reaction; radiographic appearance of a bone neoplasm. In a 14-year-old boy, immobilization and appropriate antibiotics produced symptomatic improvement and radiographic evidence of healing reactive bone above both bone lesions.
