Abstract

Abstract Pediatric chronic osteomyelitis is a rare, debilitating condition lacking management guidelines. In a national survey of 162 pediatric infectious disease physicians through the Emerging Infections Network, tremendous variability in diagnostic approaches and management was noted, highlighting a need for a prospective study to better define the spectrum of pathogens and disease.
