Abstract
Acute osteomyelitis is uncommon in pediatric patients, affecting one in five thousand children younger than the age of thirteen. Bone infection caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae is extremely rare, accounting for only 1.3% of acute osteomyelitis in children. We report a case of penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae-induced acute osteomyelitis in a 7-month-old male infant who was treated successfully with intravenous vancomycin and oral clindamycin.
