Abstract
Infection and inflammatory disease in children varies from that seen in adults. The disease processes are different and manifest differently due to the growing skeleton and immature tissues. The sequelae of infection and inflammation in children may affect growth and development of structures. As such, proper diagnosis is imperative for prompt and appropriate treatment. In this essay, the commoner infectious and inflammatory processes in the pediatric musculoskeletal system are emphasized.
