[The treatment of acute hematogenous osteomyelitis in children and young adults].
On the basis of own experiences and literature from last three years authors presented the role of surgical treatment in children above two years and young people, suffering from acute haematogenous osteomyelitis. Conservative treatment should be limited to these cases, where we can see a quick recovery, reducing of the pain and decreasing of the level of CRP and ESR. The presence of subperiosteal abscessus, positive bacteriological culture from blood and other complications (i.e. staphylococcal pneumonia), are the absolute indications to decompression of the medullary cavity, and local application of antibiotics.
