Acute osteomyelitis (AO) in neonates, although rare, represents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. A high index of suspicion is necessary to make an early diagnosis, and the observation of clinical signs is crucial. The increasing prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an emerging problem in pediatrics. In neonates, MRSA infections can cause a wide spectrum of diseases including bone and joint infections. We report two cases of AO in full-term neonates, with no risk factors, due to MRSA.
新生儿急性骨髓炎（AO）虽罕见，但却是诊断和治疗上的一大挑战。高度怀疑对于早期诊断很有必要，而临床体征的观察至关重要。耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌（MRSA）患病率的上升是儿科领域一个新出现的问题。在新生儿中，MRSA感染可引发包括骨和关节感染在内的多种疾病。我们报告两例足月新生儿因MRSA感染导致的AO，且无危险因素。
