title: Periostitis ossificans versus Garrè's osteomyelitis. Part I. What did Garrè really say?
abstract: In 1893, C. Garrè published an article dealing with the manifestations of acute osteomyelitis. Since then, his name has been associated with diseases such as Garrè's osteomyelitis, chronic sclerosing osteomyelitis, and periostitis ossificans, among others. Scrutiny of a translated version of the original article reveals that Garrè was not responsible for the description of the disease that now bears his name.
