Abstract
Methods We retrospectively evaluated patients with sterile bone inflammation, lasting longer than 6 month, referred to two tertiary care pediatric rheumatology units. Information on family history, clinical features at disease onset and course, laboratory and outcome were collected. A comparison between unifocal (UF-CNO) and multifocal course (MF-CNO), based on bone scintiscan result, was performed.
