Subacute Hematogenous Osteomyelitis in Children

Abstract
Children (55) with hematogenous osteomyelitis were studied and 18 (33%) had a subacute course marked by mild pain, few systemic or laboratory signs, and little functional impairment. Radiographic findings frequently suggested a tumor (50%), and the correct diagnosis was delayed an average of 3 mo. A radiographic classification is suggested that will help provide more accurate diagnosis of this disorder.
