N2 - Recently, the authors studied a group of paleopathological findings - inflammatory lesions - from three Moravien localities (Czech Republic). Skeletons of individuals who lived in the period from the late 13th to the 18th centuries were examined macroscopically, radiographically, histologically and some indicated bone samples were submitted to detection of M.tuberculosis DNA. Bones of the postcranial skeleton, particularly the long bones of extremities, showed most often non-specific inflammation of post-traumatic purulent osteomyelitis. Most of the specific inflammatory processes on the skulls had typical signs of syphilis. In one case, leprous disease could not be eliminated. Tuberculosis was diagnosed in three cases of specific inflammations. The diagnosis was supported by DNA detection specific for Mycobacterium tuberculosis by means of the PCR method.
