Successful treatment of pustulotic arthro-osteitis (Sonozaki syndrome) with systemic cyclosporin

Abstract

Pustulotic arthro-osteitis, first described by Sonozaki, is a relatively rare disorder, the prevalence of which is probably underestimated in dermatological literature; its early recognition can prevent misdiagnosis, unnecessary surgery, and the use of prolonged and ineffective antibiotic treatment.
