Pediatric Musculoskeletal Infection: Trends and Antibiotic Recommendations
Journal of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, 10/16/09
Copley LAB – The potential for infections involving multiple tissue locations within the same patient and the risk for complications such as deep vein thrombosis necessitate a thorough, often multidisciplinary, approach in the care of these children. MRI is valuable in defining the anatomic and spatial extent of infection as well as in guiding the decision and approach for surgery. Most patients have favorable outcomes with sequential parenteral to oral antibiotic therapy after adequate surgical débridement of the infection. Close outpatient follow–up is essential to ensure antibiotic compliance and to identify late consequences of the infection.
