[Corynebacterium acnes osteitis. A case in a child].
The authors report a case of Corynebacterium acnes osteitis in an 11 year old girl, involving the upper of the right tibia. The lesion resembled a malignant tumour radiologically and tuberculosis histologically. Scintigraphy revealed involvement of the seventh right rib. 3 months treatment with Pristinamycin resulted in cure.
