OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the inter- and intraobserver reliability of the Penny and Beit CURE radiologic classifications of pediatric patients with Chronic Hematogenous Osteomyelitis (CHOM) in the Philippine General Hospital (PGH).
METHODS: Thirty-four pre-operative radiographs of PGH pediatric patients with CHOM were classified by seven orthopedic surgeons using both Penny and Beit CURE Classification systems. Two sets of radiographs were sent to the surgeons twice, four weeks apart, to classify. The Fleiss and Cohen κ statistics were used to determine inter- and intraobserver reliabilities, respectively.
RESULTS: The Penny Classification had a slight to fair interobserver reliability (Fleiss κ = 0.17 and 0.24) and a fair intraobserver reliability (Cohen κ =0.35) with a 49.58% average intraobserver agreement. The interobserver reliability when including all Beit CURE classification subtypes was fair (κ = 0.28 and 0.31). This improved to moderate (κ = 0.41 and 0.54) when using only the four main types of the Beit CURE classification with a 77.31% intraobserver agreement.
CONCLUSION: The Beit CURE classification for pediatric CHOM had higher inter- and intraobserver agreement rates than the Penny classification. Further improvement in reliability can be made by combining B2 and B3 subtypes under the Beit CURE classification.

Osteomyelitis in children has various clinical manifestations
causing diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties.
Inappropriate treatment of acute osteomyelitis may lead to
chronic, serious and complicated condition. Chronic
osteomyelitis continues to be a major cause of morbidity
and disability in children living in developing countries. We
present three cases of tibial osteomyelitis that have different
presentations and sequalae. Our intention is to alert our
colleagues, particularly primary physicians, regarding the
variety of presentation and the important of early diagnosis
and treatment to reduce the risk of morbidity following
osteomyelitis.

7.Tc99m-Besilesomab With the Added Benefit of Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography/Computed Tomography (SPECT/CT): Current Role in Infection Detection and Localisation
Malaysian Journal of Medicine and Health Sciences 2018;14(Supplement 1):50-57
Introduction: Imaging modality has become increasingly important in hospital setting especially in cases of unknown site of infection/pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO) and osteomyelitis (OM). In recent years, nuclear imaging has been used and is known to deliver prompt and precise diagnoses of numerous infectious diseases. The purpose of the study is to detect and localise the site of infection using Tc99m-besilesomab and to assess the added contributions of single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) over planar scan in patients with PUO and OM. Methods: Tc99m-besilesomab with SPECT/CT were prospectively performed in 23 patients (eight males, 15 females) with suspected infection. True findings were diagnosed by both cold and hot spot in the scan with reference to positive blood or tissue cultures, or other additional imaging. Results: Tc99m-besilesomab managed to detect presence of infection with high sensitivity of 87.5% and specificity of 71.4%. Interobserver variability agreement that was obtained between the presence of infection and the ability of Tc99m-besilesomab imaging to detect it was significant (p<0.05), Kappa=0.7. SPECT/CT has increased the detection sensitivity by 6.3% and specificity by 28.6%. Out of 23 patients, 15 had true positive, seven had true negative and only one patient had false negative study. SPECT/CT has changed the management in one patient which was missed by planar imaging. Conclusions: Indeed, SPECT/CT has further increased the detection sensitivity and specificity, provides extra information of the anatomical location and the extent of involvement of the disease as compared to planar imaging alone.
