Abstract
Dr. Medoff provides an excellent breakdown of the clinical types of osteomyelitis encountered in practice today. He points out the necessity for long treatment of acute osteomyelitis, that is, four to six weeks of parenteral therapy. He discusses a number of the problems attendant on the chemotherapy of chronic osteomyelitis, pointing out the role of surgical débridement in addition to antibiotic therapy.—HCN
