Abstract

Primary sternal osteomyelitis is a rare disease. Primary sternal osteomyelitis occurring during childhood is extremely rare; therefore, only eleven cases have been reported in the English language literatures. The predisposing factors of primary sternal osteomyelitis are malnutrition, immune deficiency, intravenous injection, blunt chest trauma, and sickle cell anemia. Drainage of pus with antibiotic therapy is the treatment of choice. We report a case of primary sternal osteomyelitis occurred in a 16-year old boy, who had no predisposing factors, with review of literatures.

원발성 흉골 골수염은 드문 질환이다. 특히 소아에서 발생한 경우는 매우 드물어 영어로 보고된 문헌에 11예가 보고되었다. 원발성 흉골 골수염은 영양실조, 면역 저하, 흉부 둔상, 정맥을 통한 약물 주사, 낫 세포빈혈증 등의 환자에서 주로 발생하며, 배농 및 항생제 투여로 치료한다. 저자들은 기저질환이 없는 16세 남아에서 발생한 원발성 흉골 골수염 1예를 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
