RESUMEN
Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is a rare idiopathic autoinflammatory bone disease characterised by noninfective inflammation of bones. Diagnostic approach is challenging and requires exclusion of other causes such as malignancies or infections. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and corticosteroids are usually applied as first-line therapy in CRMO patients; however, some cases require more intensive therapy with second-line agents to control disease activity. We hereby describe the use of colchicine as a nonconventional second-line disease-modifying antirheumatic drug in two pediatric patients with CRMO refractory to NSAIDs and corticosteroids. Our data indicate that colchicine might prove an important area for future research as a potential therapeutic option with easy administration, low cost, and a good safety profile in CRMO patients refractory to first-line therapy.
