Clinical epidemiology and outcomes of pediatric musculoskeletal infections.
The objective of this study was to understand the epidemiology of acute hematogenous osteomyelitis and septic arthritis, including clinical and demographic features, microbiology, treatment approaches, treatment-associated complications, and outcomes. Musculoskeletal infections are challenging pediatric infections. The investigators concluded that S aureus remained the most common pathogen, with methicillin-resistant S aureus accounting for 25% of all cases. Concurrent acute hematogenous osteomyelitis/septic arthritis was associated with more severe disease and worse outcomes.
