Pediatric bone and joint infections pose unique challenges, often affecting children of varying age groups. Hematogenous osteomyelitis and septic arthritis are common presentations, with younger children more susceptible to the former and older children and adolescents to the latter. These infections can be challenging to diagnose due to non-specific symptoms and the inability of young children to articulate pain or discomfort. Imaging studies, blood cultures, and joint aspirations are crucial diagnostic tools. Timely intervention is essential to prevent complications such as joint destruction and long-term sequelae. Management of pediatric bone and joint infections involves a multidisciplinary approach, including pediatricians, orthopedic surgeons, and infectious disease specialists. Empirical antibiotic therapy is initiated promptly based on likely pathogens, adjusting according to culture results. Surgical drainage or debridement may be necessary, particularly in cases of abscess formation or joint involvement. Long-term follow-up ensures monitoring for potential complications and the assessment of treatment efficacy. As with adult cases, the rising prevalence of antibiotic resistance underscores the importance of prudent antibiotic use in pediatric populations, and ongoing research aims to optimize treatment strategies and improve outcomes for children with bone and joint infections.
