Chronic osteomyelitis of the pelvis.

摘要: The aim of this study was to examine the aetiology and response treatment a series patients with pelvic osteomyelitis. Criteria for selection were multiple positive intra-operative cultures and/or radiological diagnosis. Twenty met these criteria (age range: 21-78 years, mean = 46). Data recorded on host status using Cierny-Mader classification, neurological status, causative organisms; sensitivities its outcome. Pelvic osteomyelitis frequently caused by unusual high incidence (45%) neurologically compromised noted. There important differences in infective organisms, outcome paraplegic non-paraplegic population. A mortality squamous cell carcinoma observed. should be managed differently long bone as far antibiotic therapy is concerned, greater need broad spectrum antibiotics surgical resection similar chance success marginal type hosts wide B hosts.
