    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Infectious Diseases
    • Orthopedic Surgery

    Background:

    • Septic bursitis is an uncommon infection in children.
    • It often arises after direct trauma or local infection.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review cases of pediatric septic bursitis over 25 years.
    • To analyze clinical presentation, causative organisms, treatment, and outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of ten pediatric septic bursitis cases.
    • Analysis of patient demographics, affected bursae, diagnostic findings, microbial cultures, and treatment modalities.

    Main Results:

    • Prepatellar bursitis was most common (8/10 cases).
    • Staphylococcus aureus was the predominant pathogen (9/10 cases).

  • Most children recovered rapidly with surgical and antimicrobial therapy, including oral antibiotics.

    • Conclusions:

    • Septic bursitis in children requires differentiation from cellulitis and septic arthritis.
    • Appropriate antimicrobial and surgical management usually results in favorable outcomes.
    • Early intervention is key to preventing complications like osteomyelitis.
