Journal ArticleDOI
Acute osteomyelitis, septic arthritis and discitis: differences between neonates and older children.
TL;DR: Clinical and radiological differences that in the past have led many authors to consider neonatal osteomyelitis a separate entity from osteomyeelitis in the older child are discussed.
