Abstrakt: Osteomyelitis is a rare infection that is considered to be a children’s disease. Diagnosis is frequently delayed because it is an uncommon pathology and is presented in various ways. After its diagnosis and treatment, the result is favourable in children. We present a clinical case that shows difficulties in its diagnosis. A high index of suspicion should be addressed for early recognition.
