Neonatal Osteomyelitis and Septic Arthritis
Abstract
NK Sferopoulos
The purpose of this editorial is to perform an extensive review of the relevant international literature about neonatal osteomyelitis and septic arthritis, to indicate the value of clinical suspicion and of regular osteoarticular examination for the early diagnosis and treatment of the disease in the septicemic neonate or in the preterm infant, even when initial empiric antibiotic therapy is used, and to present illustrative cases.
