Summary
Adult-onset Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis (CRMO) can be challenging to diagnose. Effective treatment involves a combination of methotrexate and prednisolone, leading to satisfactory clinical recovery in adult patients.
Area of Science:
- Rheumatology
- Pediatric Rheumatology
- Orthopedics
- Autoinflammatory Diseases
Background:
- Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis (CRMO) is an autoinflammatory bone disorder primarily affecting children, characterized by recurrent bone inflammation.
- While typically pediatric, CRMO can manifest in adults, potentially leading to diagnostic delays due to its rarity in this age group.

Introduction:For diagnosing acute pyelonephritis, a comprehensive patient history is collected to identify symptoms such as dysuria, frequent or urgent urination, flank pain, or costovertebral angle (CVA) tenderness that may suggest a kidney infection.Physical ExaminationDuring the physical examination, CVA tenderness is assessed. This involves gentle percussion over the costovertebral angle, where tenderness often indicates a kidney infection.Diagnostic TestsUrinalysis: Used to identify white...

21
Pyelonephritis is a bacterial infection that primarily affects the renal parenchyma and collecting system, including the renal pelvis, tubules, and interstitial tissue of one or both kidneys. It can be classified as either acute—a sudden, severe infection—or chronic, which refers to long-term or recurrent kidney infections.The primary cause of acute pyelonephritis (APN) is bacterial infection, with Escherichia coli accounting for approximately 70-80% of cases. Other bacteria, such...
