ABSTRACT
The treatment of acute osteomyelitis has been much improved with the development of better antibiotics, but still a number of problems have remained unsolved. To find out possible problems in our method of management and to help resolve these problems, a clinical study was done of 34 cases of acute childhood osteomyelitis treated from August 1980 to January 1985. The results were as follows: 1. Bone scan helps diagnosis and localization of this disease; blood culture is significant in the selection of relevant antibiotics by sensitivity test. 2. All the causative organisms cultured were staphylococcus aureus which showed 100% sensitivity to cephalosporin and 100% resistant to penicillin: methicillin was not much effective compared with other reports. 3. 22 cases were trcated with decompression operation and 12 cases with conservative method: surgery is considered to be better method of treatment in the viewpoints of clinical process and complications.
