Article Abstract

Pediatric chronic osteomyelitis is a rare, debilitating condition lacking management guidelines. In a national survey of 162 pediatric infectious disease physicians through the Emerging Infections Network, tremendous variability in diagnostic approaches and management was noted, highlighting a need for a prospective study to better define the spectrum of pathogens and disease.

Combining disinfection and bone regeneration in a one-step treatment is of significant clinical importance for chronic osteomyelitis, yet it remains a considerable challenge. To address this, we developed a dual stimulus-responsive decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) cryogel (GC-dECM@CPN). The cryogel is composed of methacrylate gelatin (GelMA), carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS), dECM, and temperature-sensitive phase-transition copper peroxide nanoparticles (CPNs).

Avian pseudotuberculosis infection usually presents as well-demarcated visceral necrotic foci, typically affecting the gastrointestinal tract, liver and spleen. This case series describes an atypical presentation of (Yptb) characterized by severe chronic myositis, arthritis and osteomyelitis in five village weavers (), and acute osteomyelitis and myositis associated with septicaemia in an oriental magpie robin () from a zoological collection. Clinical signs of the weavers included lethargy, poor flying ability and focally extensive periarticular and muscular swelling, whereas the magpie robin was found dead without premonitory signs.

Tuberculous osteomyelitis of the proximal tibia is an extremely rare condition in pediatric patients, often presenting as chronic pain, swelling, and nonspecific symptoms that mimic pyogenic osteomyelitis or bone tumors. We report the case of a three-year-old boy who presented with localized swelling and pain in the right proximal tibia for the past 1.5 months.
