Acute Multifocal Nonhematogenous Methicillin-Sensitive Staphylococcus aureus Osteomyelitis in a Healthy Adolescent: An Atypical Presentation

Osteomyelitis represents inflammation and infection of bone tissue by a pathogen. Acute osteomyelitis is more likely to be unifocal compared to a chronic process which tends to be multifocal and recurrent. Early diagnosis, aggressive appropriate antibiotic therapy and a multidisciplinary approach ar...

description Osteomyelitis represents inflammation and infection of bone tissue by a pathogen. Acute osteomyelitis is more likely to be unifocal compared to a chronic process which tends to be multifocal and recurrent. Early diagnosis, aggressive appropriate antibiotic therapy and a multidisciplinary approach are essential for a satisfactory prognosis and improved outcome. We report an atypical case of acute multifocal methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) osteomyelitis.
