Zussamenfassung
Primary osteomyelitis of the sternum is very rare and is mainly seen in children (Narchi 1999; Upadhyayaa et al. 2005). Adults develop this disease only if certain risk factors such as i.v. drug abuse, acne fulminans, or palmoplantar pustulosis are present (Boll and Jurik 1990; Kalra et al. 1988; Vellacott 1952).
