Abstract
We describe an 8 year old girl who developed chronic recurrent multifo cal osteomyelitis (CRMO) in the ilium and clavicle. Treatment for an a cute lymphoblastic leukaemia had been finished two months before. Afte r antibiotic therapy, the clinical symptoms improved and no fresh lesi ons appeared. The aetiology of CRMO is unknown, but we feel that infec tion may precipitate an immunological reaction.
