| Popis: | CASE We present the case of an infant with an amputation from amniotic band syndrome and no other complications. During the seventh week of life, the infant developed severe pain in the affected limb that was ultimately found to be indicative of osteomyelitis. CONCLUSION The infant displayed minimal systemic response, and cultures that grew methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus were needed to confirm the diagnosis. Surgical debridement, stump revision, and oral antibiotic therapy provided definitive treatment for our patient. The reader is encouraged to consider the possibility of osteomyelitis in similar circumstances. |
