ABSTRACT

La osteomielitis crónica multifocal recurrente es una rara enfermedad ósea de niños y adolecentes que afecta las metáfisis de los huesos tubulares. Clínicamente se manifiesta por un inicio insidioso y un curso con exacerbaciones y remisiones, los hallazgos de laboratorio y de patología son inespecíficos. En los estudios de imágenes simula una osteomielitis infecciosa y el diagnóstico se hace después de descartar otras enfermedades. El curso crónico, los hallazgos en imagen, los cultivos negativos y la falta de respuesta a la terapia antibiótica ayudan a su diagnóstico.
