Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis: A multidisciplinary experience of 22 pediatric cases with a mean follow-up of 27 months.

This study demonstrated that early recognition of the disease can be improved by using Bristol criteria which should be evaluated by a multidisciplinary team rather than one single specialist. In this way, the reliability of these criteria is improved and the treatment could be given earlier with decreased delay in diagnosis. This multidisciplinary approach is also important for decision for biopsy, timely aggressive medical treatment, and follow-up of the disease to minimise possible complications.
