Abstract:
We report three cases of subacute osteomyelitis in 25, 31 and 38-year old adults. The clinical presentation was an insidious condition with persistent nondisabling pain. Radiographical signs suggested a bone tumor. Diagnosis was established from the bacteriological and pathology examinations of the surgical biopsy taken when evacuating the abscess. Cure was obtained in all three patients with combination antibiotic regimens. In two cases immobilisation was required because of bone fragility.
