    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Orthopedics
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Pelvic osteomyelitis is a rare but serious bone infection affecting children.
    • This study describes a series of pediatric cases focusing on clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment outcomes.

    Observation:

    • Six children (7-16 years) presented with pelvic osteomyelitis, primarily involving the pubis, ilium, or ischium.
    • Common symptoms included fever, abnormal gait, localized tenderness, and pain on hip abduction.
    • Radiographic findings such as soft tissue swelling and bladder deviation were noted, with osteomyelitis changes developing later.

    Findings:

    • Staphylococcus aureus was the most common pathogen identified, consistently sensitive to methicillin.
    • Surgical intervention was performed in some cases, with purulent material drainage.

  • All patients received a combination of intravenous and oral antibiotic therapy.

    • Implications:

    • Early diagnosis and appropriate antibiotic management are crucial for successful outcomes in pediatric pelvic osteomyelitis.
    • This case series highlights the importance of considering osteomyelitis in children with suggestive symptoms.
    • Complete recovery is achievable with timely and effective treatment strategies.
