The triad of acute osteomyelitis, deep venous thrombophlebitis, and septic pulmonary embolism is a rare, but life-threatening syndrome in children that requires prompt recognition and treatment. We report two cases of acute osteomyelitis complicated by septic thrombophlebitis and pulmonary emboli. Both patients required operative drainage to remove the septic focus. Recognition of any one component of the triad should prompt a search for the other associated disorders. Aggressive management with early antibiotic administration, anticoagulation, and surgical debridement can be life saving.
急性骨髓炎、深部静脉血栓性静脉炎和脓毒性肺栓塞三联征在儿童中是一种罕见但危及生命的综合征,需要及时识别和治疗。我们报告了两例急性骨髓炎并发脓毒性血栓性静脉炎和肺栓塞的病例。两名患者均需要手术引流以清除感染灶。认识到三联征的任何一个组成部分都应促使寻找其他相关疾病。早期给予抗生素、抗凝治疗和手术清创的积极处理可挽救生命。
