Abstract
Rib osteomyelitis is a very rare form of childhood osteomyelitis. We describe a case of a 9-year-old child with an osteomyelitis of the rib due to Staphylococcus aureus and review 57 cases reported in the literature. This case demonstrates that the diagnosis of this uncommon disease requires a high index of suspicion due to its rarity and nonspecific signs.Entities:
