Abstract
20 patients with chronic staphylococcal osteomyelitis were tested for 6 acute phase reactants: alfa,-antitrypsin, orosomucoid, haptoglobin, ceruloplasmin, C-reactive protein (CRP) and antichymotrypsin during different phases of the disease. CRP was best correlated to clinical activity and in 3 cases CRP and ceruloplasmin increased a few weeks before a clinically apparent exacerbation of the osteomyelitis took place. A Latex-CRP slide method showed fairly good agreement with CRP assessed by immunoassay. Determination of CRP is a suitable test for following the activity of chronic osteomyelitis.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
