| Popis: | Eleven children with Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection complicating foot puncture wounds were reviewed. Delay in presentation (mean 2 days) and diagnosis (mean 9 days) due to a paucity of clinical signs of deep infection was characteristic of this condition. Septic arthritis (5 patients) and osteomyelitis (3 patients) were frequent complications. Treatment involved multiple surgical debridements and prolonged intravenous antibiotic therapy. The clinical outcome was good although long-term radiographic changes were common. |
