We have reviewed 60 patients with primary bone infections; 21 of these (35%) had subacute osteomyelitis, a figure which supports other recent observations that this variant of bone infection is becoming more widespread. In this group open culture and biopsy were necessary in order to exclude bony malignancy, and a raised erythrocyte sedimentation rate proved a useful diagnostic aid. All the patients with acute osteomyelitis or with vertebral infection responded to primary treatment, but five of those with subacute osteomyelitis had recurrences.
我们回顾了60例原发性骨感染患者；其中21例（35%）患有亚急性骨髓炎，这一数字支持了最近的其他观察结果，即这种骨感染变体正变得越来越普遍。在这组患者中，为了排除骨恶性肿瘤，进行开放培养和活检是必要的，红细胞沉降率升高被证明是一种有用的诊断辅助手段。所有急性骨髓炎或椎体感染患者对初始治疗均有反应，但21例亚急性骨髓炎患者中有5例复发。
