Abstract

BACKGROUND: Chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis is a rare autoinflammatory bone disease with periods of relapses and remissions. No etiotropic therapy, diagnostic and treatment standards exist, patients are observed by rheumatologists, immunologists, and orthopedist. They receive symptomatic, anti-inflammatory treatment, broad-spectrum antibiotics, immunosuppressants to control inflammation, which helps to prevent new or to reduce existing pathological foci.

CLINICAL CASE DESCRIPTION: This article describes the effect of immune therapy and osteotropic treatment with zoledronic acid combination in a patient with chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis. In a clinical observation involving comprehensive examination, including radiological (radiography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging) and laboratory methods, a positive outcome was achieved using conservative methods of treatment in a patient with chronic non-bacterial sternum osteomyelitis.

CONCLUSION: Thus, a combination of bisphosphonates and immunotherapy may be promising in the treatment of chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis. However, it is unknown as to how long the remission will last and what treatment program is necessary for the final disease resolution.
