Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is a disorder of suspected--but unproved-infectious etiology. OBSERVATION: A girl presented with a typical CRMO involving successively the left fibula, radius, humerus and the right carpus. A Coxiella burnetii infection was indicated during the first attack. Two recurrences occurred in spite of suitable antibiotic treatment and with negative infectious investigation. Two months after stopping antibiotic treatment, a new recurrence associated with antibodies increase and positive bone culture occurred. CONCLUSION: Coxiella burnetii can initiate a CRMO. The mechanism involved is probably a delayed hypersensitivity. CRMO would therefore be the first type of reactive osteitis.
