Abstract
The diagnosis of osteitis is made in a clinical setting. While laboratory examinations are able to support the diagnosis, they are not able to reliably rule out bone or joint inflammation. Appropriate blood tests include full blood count, C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate. A procalcitonin test will reliably show any septic complications. CRP and erythrocyte sedimentation rates are sufficient to monitor the course of osteomyelitis therapy.
