[Septic arthritis and osteomyelitis as a complication of neonatal intensive care (author's transl)]. 1979

W D Müller, and C Urban, and M Haidvogel, and G Ritter

In a prematurely born infant of a diabetic mother a purulent arthritis with osteomyelitis of the elbow occurred 18 days after an enterobacter aerogenes-septicemia was proved. Enterobacter (aerobacter) aerogenes is a nosocomial gramnegative germ, that is more and more regarded responsible for infection of the newborn in intensive care units. In accordance with the literature recording a high rate functional loss after septic arthritis also our patient suffered from a mobility deficiency in his right elbow a year after the onset of the disease.
