Abstract

We reviewed 275 cases and calculated the prevalence of bacteriologically or radiologically confirmed acute haematogenous osteomyelitis in children under 13 resident in Greater Glasgow during 1970 to 1990. In the 20-year period there was a fall of over 50%, mainly involving cases of long-bone infection, and those due to Staphylococcus aureus. There was a reduced incidence of complications. The proportion of cases involving long bones decreased from 84% to 57%, and those of Staphylococcus aureus infection from 55% to 31%. These changes, in what is becoming a rare disease, need to be known to ensure early diagnosis and adequate treatment, particularly of subacute non-staphylococcal infection at unusual sites.
