Toward the etiology of osteomyelitis. G. Sobernheim (Schweiz, med. Woch., 1928, No. 6)
The author considers Staphylococcus as the most frequent causative agent of this disease, Streptococcus occurs much less frequently, and other microbes occur only in exceptional cases. The predisposing moments here are often trauma and infection. The bone marrow is usually infected by blood, but this is not the case, but for the bones the haematogenous route of infection is the rule. The germs originate either from some nest of infection or from the skin and mucous membranes; in this case the infection can remain hidden in the body for longer than is usually thought. Antigen therapy appears here to be scientifically quite reasonable.
