    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric rheumatology
    • Osteoimmunology
    • Bone infections

    Background:

    • Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is a rare, distinct osteolytic bone disease.
    • First described in 1972, only 33 cases have been reported globally, predominantly outside the U.S.
    • CRMO is characterized by recurrent, multifocal bone lesions, typically in metaphyses, with negative cultures.

    Observation:

    • The disease course can be prolonged (up to 15 years) and is unresponsive to antibiotics.
    • Females are twice as likely to be affected, with half of cases occurring in children under ten.
    • Elevated Antistreptolysin O titers and a history of throat infections are noted in some patients.
    • An association with pustulosis palmoplantaris exists.

    Findings:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • This study presents two new cases of CRMO in the United States, expanding the known geographical distribution.
  • The clinical presentation and disease course in these cases align with previously reported international findings.
  • These cases underscore the importance of recognizing CRMO in the U.S. differential diagnosis for pediatric bone pain.

    • Implications:

    • Increased awareness of CRMO in the U.S. may lead to earlier diagnosis and improved patient management.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate the pathogenesis of CRMO and identify potential therapeutic targets.
    • Understanding the association with pustulosis palmoplantaris could offer insights into underlying systemic inflammatory processes.
