ABSTRACT
There are few reports of skeletal infections in patients with cirrhosis. We present two such cases, both with alcoholic liver disease, seen over a period of one year. The first, a 46-year-old man, presented as pyrexia of unknown origin, and was found to have pyogenic discitis; he responded to antibiotic and surgery. The second, a 42-year-old man, presented with chest wall abscess and was diagnosed to have tubercular osteomyelitis; he expired despite treatment with non-hepatotoxic anti-tubercular drugs.
