Hip septic arthritis and other pediatric musculoskeletal infections in the era of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
[pyomyositis]
Pediatric
musculoskeletal
infections
can
cause
devastating
complications
(
including
death
)
in
this
era
of
methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus
aureus
and
other
virulent
bacterial
strains
.
The
complexity
and
severity
of
these
infections
require
timely
diagnosis
and
treatment
.
A
thorough
emergency
department
evaluation
,
diagnostic
workup
,
and
early
surgical
intervention
can
influence
outcomes
.
Septic
arthritis
of
the
hip
is
best
treated
with
open
drainage
and
antibiotic
therapy
to
avoid
osteonecrosis
of
the
hip
and
joint
damage
.
Because
of
genetic
changes
and
inducible
resistance
,
methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus
aureus
causes
more
complex
infections
than
in
the
past
.
Deep
,
soft
-tissue
abscesses
;
pyomyositis
;
osteomyelitis
;
and
septic
arthritis
often
occur
concurrently
,
causing
destruction
of
musculoskeletal
tissue
.
Severe
and
life-threatening
complications
,
such
as
septic
emboli
,
deep
venous
thrombosis
,
and
multiorgan
system
failure
may
result
from
these
infections
.
