Infectious osteitis pubis. Case reports.
Two cases of spontaneous septic osteitis of the pubis in patients who had not previously undergone intrapelvic or abdominal surgery are presented. Early diagnosis and evaluation of the immunological system are discussed. Drainage of the pus and thorough debridement of the affected bone are the hallmarks of correct treatment. The administration of suitable antibiotics with simultaneous correction of immunological deficiencies will result in eventual cure.
