Abstract:
Staphylococcus aureus is the most frequently reported, though not the only, causative organism in children who have osteomyelitis. In an 11-year-old child with osteomyelitis of the calcaneus, the etiologic agent was identified as a Group B beta-hemolytic streptococcal organism. This organism seems not to have been previously reported as the cause of osteomyelitis in the heel.
