Abstract
Between 1980 and 1984 nine adult patients in the renal unit of Guy's Hospital developed bone and joint infection. The commonest site of infection was the spine. In this series two patients died, a mortality of 22%. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the pitfalls in the diagnosis and management of bone and joint infection in patients with renal failure and renal transplants.
