Systemic Antimicrobial Treatment of Chronic Osteomyelitis in Adults: A Narrative Review.

Chronic osteomyelitis in adults is a complex condition that requires prolonged and intensive antimicrobial therapy, but evidence on optimal selection and duration of antibiotics is limited.

Three main areas of interest were investigated: short-term versus long-term antibiotic therapy, oral versus parenteral antibiotic therapy, and combination antibiotic therapy with rifampicin versus without rifampicin.

Instead, some authors call atypical skull-base osteomyelitis sinonasal, since the infection most often originates from the nose and paranasal sinuses.
