Fifteen patients with infantile bone and joint infections were studied immunologically and clinically, 3 at the time of illness and 12 later. Abnormality of immunoglobulins, or complement, or phagocytes was found in 9 patients; 6 were within normal limits for the tests undertaken. Immunodeficiency is probably responsible for the subdued clinical signs of infection and for delayed diagnosis in some patients. It was also related to the extent of femoral head damage in infective arthritis of the hip and to the incidence of wound infection in late elective surgery.
对15例婴儿骨与关节感染患者进行了免疫学和临床研究，其中3例在患病时进行研究，12例在之后进行研究。9例患者发现免疫球蛋白、补体或吞噬细胞异常；6例在进行的检测中处于正常范围。免疫缺陷可能是导致感染临床症状不明显以及部分患者诊断延迟的原因。它还与髋关节感染性关节炎中股骨头损伤的程度以及择期手术后期伤口感染的发生率有关。
