A special and rare case with osteomyelitis: A case report

Abstract

<span style="font-size:10pt;">Background: Neonatal acute hematogenous osteomyelitis is very rare in clinical research. Early diagnosis and treatment to reduce the sequelae is very important. The purpose is to introduce a rare and special case to medical workers, so that readers know how to di<span>agnose and treat such special cases. Methods: Through</span> <span>the clinical manifestations, imaging studies and the results in blood culture. Results: There were no adverse sequelae after effective antibiotics, which were discharged. Conclusion: There is great importance in early diagnosis and treatment of neonatal osteomyelitis.</span></span

A Child With Acute Hematogenous Osteomyelitis of the Distal Fibula and Infective Endocarditis

“…Staphylococcus aureus is currently the most frequent pathogen, similar to our patient, and accounts for almost 70-80% of the case series, followed by Streptococcus pneumoniae (whose incidence has decreased significantly since the introduction of the conjugate vaccine) and Streptococcus pyogenes. Except in the neonatal period, Gram-negative rods are much less common [7][8][9][10].…”

“…Local inflammatory symptoms, such as swelling, redness, warmth, and joint effusion, are observed in about 70% of cases and more frequently in arthritis than in osteomyelitis. Fever is found in only 60% of AHO cases [ 3 , 8 , 12 , 13 ]. In this study, we had an AHO with an unusual site and minor symptoms that could lead to overlooking the diagnosis.…”
