Abstract

Paediatric Musculoskeletal Infections include osteomyelitis, septic arthritis, pyomyositis, surgical site infections, tuberculosis, and fungal infections with some infrequent manifestations like purpura fulminans, necrotizing fasciitis, soft tissue abscess and septic bursitis. Osteomyelitis and septic arthritis are two common Musculoskeletal Infections. Vertebral tuberculosis is the most common form of skeletal tuberculosis. Staphylococcus aureus is the most frequent cause of Paediatric Musculoskeletal Infections, followed by streptococci. They can be classified on the basis of pathogen, anatomical site, spread, severity etc. Pathogenic organisms may reach a bone or soft tissue location by either of the three means: (a) direct inoculation from penetrating trauma or surgery, (b) contiguous spread from an adjacent soft tissue infection, (c) hematogenous spread from a distant focus of infection with hematogenous spread being the most common cause. It is a complex interplay between the host and the pathogen which plays major role in these infections. Peculiar anatomy of the metaphysis with classical hairpin loop system of the end arterioles and venous sinusoids aids in pathogen entry into the host. After successful invasion of the host, bacteria escapes the host immunity through various mechanisms, complement component pathway being the most common way. Also the various toxins and proteins secreted by bacteria plays an important role in adhesion, invasion, escape form immunity and spread of the infection. This review article helps in understanding this complex interplay between host and pathogen which ultimately results in infection

Keywords: Paediatric Musculoskeletal infections, Osteomyelitis, Pyomyositis, Septic Arthritis.

Abstract

Acute paediatric musculoskeletal infections (MSKI) include septic arthritis, acute osteomyelitis and pyomyositis. Prompt treatment is necessary to prevent long term disabilities in children. Explore medical topics like blood flow, natural remedies, and pill effects. Discover how pharmaceutical companies innovate treatments, impacting health. Learn about blood pressure influences and timing medication efficacy. In this review, we discuss the etiopathogenesis, clinical features and management of MSKI. We also discuss about the role of new markers of inflammation and MRI in MSKI. The clinical presentation is variable, depending upon the age group, and difficult to distinguish from other pathologies. Diagnosis is therefore based on not only clinical presentation but also laboratory and radiological investigations. The mainstay of treatment includes antibiotic therapy, and surgical decompression.
