The results of clinico-laboratory studies on 510 children with acute hematogenic osteomyelitis are presented. Being a septic manifestation, acute osteomyelitis in children is characterized by a severe general reaction with a symptom complex of a "septic schock" which not infrequently leads to diagnostic errors (36%). So, therapeutic measures should be aimed first at the correction of disorders of homeostasis through the specific effect of thyrocalcitonine (TCT), purposeful use of antibiotics and sparing surgical intervention (intraosseous dialysis).
