[Chronic posttraumatic osteomyelitis. Attempt at oral autovaccine therapy]
Abstract:
18 patients suffering from chronic posttraumatic osteomyelitis were treated by oral autovaccination. 11 patients showed significant improvement of clinical condition. The therapeutic effect was evaluated by a scoring system considering the wound morphology, the bone radiology and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate. The most pronounced clinical improvements were observed in patients with established delayed type hypersensitivity against staphylococci.
