Abstract

The study presents the criteria for diagnosing nonspecific inflammatory diseases observed on ancient bones. It is very important to remember about two forms of ostitis - acute and chronic, and about diseases causing similar changes, e.g. tuberculosis, lues, brucelosis, cysts, osteoid-osteoma.
