Ostéite chronique de l'adulte. Diagnostic et prise en charge

A multidisciplinary approach is needed for the management of these infections. Surgical treatment consists of extensive debridment, removal of foreign material, dead bone and infected tissues. Antimicrobial therapy should associate antibiotics with good bone penetration that are active against the isolated microorganism(s), and well tolerated by the patient. High dose combination intravenous therapy is often needed during the first weeks of treatment.
