Purpose
Currently, an increase in the incidence of BCG vaccination-induced bone complications (BCG-osteitis) is registered [1-3]. Besides, according to a certain view, the true prevalence of BCG-osteitis is even higher because it is difficult to identify the disease pathogen Mycobacterium bovis (Abayev Yu., 2015). Actually, the early diagnosis and treatment of hematogenous osteomyelitis is associated with the burden of atypical features and suppressed cases of inflammation [4, 5]. Regardless the implemented molecular genetic methods for verification of inflammation, especially in cases of tuberculosis, radiological examination remains an essential procedure of the complex diagnosis.
The objective of the work is to study specific features of tuberculous and non-tuberculous inflammatory bone diseases in children of different age on the basis of x-ray findings evidence, considering the features of clinical course and inflammatory process site.
