Abstract
The case had furuncle, and had it insufficiently incised by a surgeon. The lesion did not cured favorablly, therefore, the paticnt visited our Clinic with complaints of high fever and pain. At our Clinic, we learnt that the case is diabetic, and that, due to insufficient dranage of pus, the lesion had already caused an adjoining metastasis in the cranial periostium, thus causing a severe periostitis.
For the treatment of this disease, which is generally considered to be of unfavorable prognosis, we extended the incision, and made a counter opening through which a large dose of penicillin and sulfa drug together with insulin. Thus the periostitis was successfully cured within a short period of time and, further, the diabetes became much milder.
