[Changes in skeletal bones in residents of the Baltic area studied on the paleoanthropological material]

Examinations of 4481 skeletons revealed 70 cases of chronic osteomyelitis, 9 cases of osteotuberculosis and 10 cases of concha bullosa of the concha media nasalis in bronze age. Metadiaphysary forms of osteomyelitis in the long tubular bones with prevalence of ossific proliferation were observed most frequently. Osteotuberculosis existed in Latvia since the most ancient times mainly in the form of spondylitis tuberculosa.
