Résumé
Epidemiological data regarding paediatric pyogenic musculoskeletal infections from developing countries of Asia and Africa are sparse and further complicated by the presence of factors like malnutrition, delay in initiating treatment and belief in alternative forms of treatment and under vaccination. The aim of this study is to retrospectively analyse the cases of paediatric pyogenic musculoskeletal infections in a tertiary care centre in India. It is a retrospective study including patients below 18 years of age who had been diagnosed with any pyogenic musculoskeletal infection. Demographic, clinical, laboratory, and radiological details were collected. A total of 216 children, with a mean age of 12.8 ± 4.9 years (10 days-18 years), were included in the study. The causative organism could be isolated in 98 cases (45.3%). Improved methods of pathogen detection should be explored to improve the rate of positive cultures. Additional prospective studies with longer patient follow-up and the creation of care protocols are necessary to improve therapeutic decision-making and the prognosis for children with suspected musculoskeletal infection.

Background
UNASSIGNED
Epidemiological data regarding paediatric pyogenic musculoskeletal infections from developing countries of Asia and Africa are sparse and further complicated by the presence of factors like malnutrition, delay in initiating treatment and belief in alternative forms of treatment and under vaccination. The aim of this study is to retrospectively analyse the cases of paediatric pyogenic musculoskeletal infections in a tertiary care centre in India.
Methods

It is a retrospective study including patients below 18 years of age who had been diagnosed with any pyogenic musculoskeletal infection. Demographic, clinical, laboratory, and radiological details were collected.
Results
UNASSIGNED
A total of 216 children, with a mean age of 12.8 ± 4.9 years (10 days-18 years), were included in the study. The causative organism could be isolated in 98 cases (45.3%).
Conclusion
UNASSIGNED
Improved methods of pathogen detection should be explored to improve the rate of positive cultures. Additional prospective studies with longer patient follow-up and the creation of care protocols are necessary to improve therapeutic decision-making and the prognosis for children with suspected musculoskeletal infection.
