Chronic non-bacterial osteitis (CNO) is a rare chronic auto-inflammatory bone disease. In adults, it primarily affects the axial skeleton, especially the anterior chest wall, followed by the spine and the mandible. Whole Body-MRI (WB-MRI) or computed tomography (CT) combined with nuclear imaging are the preferred imaging techniques for the diagnosis and monitoring of adult CNO.

Autoinflammatory bone diseases (AIBDs) constitute a recently identified subset of autoinflammatory diseases. These conditions are characterized by an exaggerated inflammatory response in the bones without any apparent etiology. Inflammatory bone lesions associated with AIBDs exhibit chronic inflammation, are typically culture-negative, and do not exhibit discernible microorganisms on histopathological examination.

Objectives: To elucidate the existence of bacteria in situ and its influence on the clinical and pathological features of synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome.

Methods: A total of 34 patients diagnosed with SAPHO syndrome were allocated to two groups (bacterial positive and bacterial negative) based on next-generation sequencing (NGS) and microbiological culture through CT guided percutaneous puncture. The clinical characteristics, biochemical markers, imaging data, and pathological results of the patients were analysed and compared between the two groups.
