Abstrakt: AbstractFour immature infants developed staphylococcal neonatal osteomyelitis. In spite of standard treatment with cloxacillin, gentamicin and surgical drainage new lesions developed in all 4 patients. Following the addition of fusidic acid no further progress was seen in any of the infants. Fusidic acid was administered intravenously for 10–14 days in a dose of 40 mgkgday in 2 divided doses. The therapy was well tolerated. Thoracic kyphosis in one patient was the only sequelae seen.
