Sažetak

Causative pathogens, epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of pediatric septic arthritis and osteomyelitis have changed remarkably over the past decade. Bacteria remain the most common pathogens, especially Staphylococcus aureus, while Haemophilus influenzae virtually perished after the introduction of obligatory vaccination. Empiric antibiotic therapy in combination with surgery remains the standard treatment. The trend of short-term course of parenteral antibiotic therapy followed by oral administration is observed in recent literature. Surgeries are still conducted, mostly decompression procedures. The mortality is around 1%, but even if adequate treatment is conducted, infectious diseases of locomotor system may lead to the destruction of the joint and growth plate, shortage and angular deformity of the extremity and substantial disability.
