Haematogenous osteitis of infancy.

چکیده
During the past 30 years there has been much contradictory literature on haematogenous osteitis in infancy (Thomson and Lewis, 1950). In infancy the disease differs in so many respects from osteitis in older children that a separate consideration of haematogenous osteitis in children under 2 years of age is desirable. Even in this limited age group we must consider the disease under two headings: (1) streptococcal osteitis of infancy and (2) osteitis of the newborn.

In 5 of the 6 operated group, surgery was followed by a striking cessation of the diarrhoea and with weight gain.
