Issue Date: | 2011 | Journal: | Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal | Abstract: | We present a 3-year-old girl who had chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis caused by Coxiella burnetii despite long-term dual antibiotic therapy. Excellent clinical response was achieved and sustained when immunomodulatory therapy with interferon-γ was initiated. This is the case of a first child who was successfully treated with interferon-γ as adjuvant therapy for chronic multifocal Q fever osteomyelitis. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/48627 | ISSN: | 0891-3668 | DOI: | 10.1097/INF.0b013e31821487f5 | Source: | Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal[ISSN 0891-3668],v. 30, p. 810-812 (Septiembre 2011) |
