painful limp
Lab: elevated WBC, ESR and C reactive protein
Imaging: bone scan or MRI
What are the bugs that cause osteomyelitis?
Infants

-mostly seen at the end of long bones
What are the signs of Osteomyelitis?
Fever and irritablity
Refusal to walk or bear weight
PE:
Painful local swelling
Point tenderness
Local warmth
Erythema
What are sensitive lab markers for Osteomyelitis?
Increased ESR is a sensitive marker

**NOTE X rays will be normal 7-10 days!!** but late will show lucent areas
What is the treatment for osteomyelitis?
