Popis:	Inflamatory spondylitis in children is a rare infectious disease and often misleading thus resulting in a delayed diagnosis. We reported the clinical course and X-ray change of three cases. Antibiotics were administered in all three cases until the erythrocyte sedimentation rate recovered to the standard value. All patients were cured.X-ray revealed the affected disc space narrowing and vertebral body condenstion. Following control of the disease. disc space narrowing and vertebral body condensation improved. In one case, the affected vertebral bodies over-grew 7 years after disease onset.
