| pubmed-article:3474018 | pubmed:abstractText | Four cases of osteomyelitis of the mandible in children are reported to illustrate the spectrum of presentation. A proliferative rather than a lytic bony response is usually seen due to attenuation of the causative organisms and the improved immunological status of children in Britain. The importance of penicillin-resistant organisms and anaerobes, early diagnosis by scintigraphy and the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy are highlighted. | lld:pubmed |
