We present an infant with brachial plexus palsy who had osteomyelitis of the humerus and summarize previously reported cases. Although Staphylococcus aureus is the most common pathogen in osteomyelitis in infants, group B Streptococcus is responsible for 40% of humeral osteomyelitis. Early diagnosis is critical to prevent long-term sequalae but is hampered by infants frequently being well and afebrile at presentation.
我们报告了一名患有臂丛神经麻痹且并发肱骨骨髓炎的婴儿，并总结了先前报道的病例。尽管金黄色葡萄球菌是婴儿骨髓炎最常见的病原体，但B组链球菌导致了40%的肱骨骨髓炎。早期诊断对于预防长期后遗症至关重要，但由于婴儿就诊时通常情况良好且无发热症状，这一过程受到了阻碍。
