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.

Highlights

  • Chronic non bacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) is a rare condition in children and little is known about its clinical assessment and course

  • UF-CNO and MF-CNO belong to the same spectrum but present different clinical features and outcome

  • We retrospectively evaluated patients with sterile bone inflammation, lasting longer than 6 month, referred to two tertiary care pediatric rheumatology units
