Based on experience with 22 cases of neonatal osteomyelitis in 10 years, the authors suggest these patients can be divided into two groups depending on severity of disease. Premature infants requiring umbilical catheterization and severely ill full-term infants constitute a high-risk group; signs are more overt, multifocal infection and joint involvement more frequent, and severe skeletal deformities more common. The patients in the low-risk group had much milder disease but also presented more difficulty in diagnosis because of the vagueness of the presenting signs. Radiographic examination is essential for diagnosis and follow-up of osteomyelitis, particularly limb deformities. Bone scans should be reserved for situations in which the clinical and radiographic findings are equivocal.
