A case report of the course of acute osteomyelitis in a six-week-old suckling is presented. In the following discussion the most important
aspects of this illness are summarized. Most cases of osteomyelitis in children arise hematogenously. The predominant pathogen causing
osteomyelitis is Staphylococcus aureus, however the treatment should always be individualized because the variable clinical course of
children with acute hematogenous osteomyelitis makes standardized therapy recommendations difficult.
