If untreated or treated inadequately, pediatric bone and joint infections can cause significant mortality and morbidity. The functional and economic burden to the family and community at large also presents a significant public health problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book serves as an evidence-based, comprehensive review of the current concepts for the early diagnosis and management of pediatric musculoskeletal infections. Currently, there are no comprehensive, easily accessible books on this topic. This first of its kind book also uses a multidisciplinary and global approach by including contributions from editors and authors worldwide. The long-term goal of this text is to help improve the quality of care provided to children with musculoskeletal infections improve patient safety, reduce the cost of care, and add value to the care provided to these children and thus reduce the economic burden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBroken up into five sections, the first part of this text covers the epidemiology, microbiology, pathological consequences, antibiotic therapies, systemic effects, and imaging modalities of pediatric musculoskeletal infections. Section two takes a detailed look at acute pediatric musculoskeletal infections.  Infections discussed in this section include acute hematogenous osteomyelitis, septic arthritis, pyomyositis, complex musculoskeletal infections, musculoskeletal infections in the neonate and acute surgical site infection after pediatric orthopedic surgery. Section three focuses on chronic osteomyelitis and its sequelae. Section four examines anatomic region-specific considerations in musculoskeletal infections. The topics that are expanded upon are epiphyseal osteomyelitis, Pediatric hand and foot infections, tuberculosis of the axial and the appendicular skeleton, and non-tuberculous infections of the spine. Finally, the fifth section includes an overview of less common musculoskeletal conditions such as, fungal infections, brucellosis, hydatid disease, gas gangrene, viral musculoskeletal infection and meningococcal infections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten by experts in the field, \u003ci\u003ePediatric Musculoskeletal Infections: Principles and Practice \u003c\/i\u003eserves as an easily accessible resource for a global audience of healthcare providers from multiple disciplines to aid them in making informed decisions while managing pediatric bone and joint infections. Paediatricians, orthopedic surgeons, infectious disease physicians, radiologists, pathologists, family physicians and any other healthcare providers involved in the care of children with musculoskeletal infections will find immense value in this reference as will medical students, residents and fellows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection 1: General principles\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEpidemiology of musculoskeletal infections\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Microbiology of MSK infections and antibiotic therapies\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePathology of musculoskeletal infections\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eImaging modalities to diagnose musculoskeletal infections \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInfection mimics: differential diagnoses of musculoskeletal infections\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMRSA and virulent MSSA infections\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSystemic effects of musculoskeletal infections and ICU management \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLocal antibiotic drug delivery systems for musculoskeletal infections\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvidence based management of musculoskeletal infections \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection 2: Acute musculoskeletal infections\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcute hematogenous osteomyelitis\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeptic arthritis \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePyomyositis\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMusculoskeletal infections in the neonate\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSubacute osteomyelitis\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSurgical site infection in pediatric orthopaedic surgery\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSurgical site infection in spine surgery\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInfections related to external fixators\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePediatric musculoskeletal infections: a LMIC perspective \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection 3: Chronic musculoskeletal infections and their sequelae\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChronic hematogenous Osteomyelitis \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePost-traumatic chronic osteomyelitis\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChronic non-bacterial recurrent osteomyelitis (Chronic non-infective osteitis)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePathological fractures with osteomyelitis\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePost infective deformities: strategies for limb reconstruction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSequelae of septic arthritis of the hip and late reconstruction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePost infective bone gap management of the upper extremity \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePost infective bone gap management of the lower extremity\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePost infective bone gap management: Induced membrane technique\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection 4: Region specific musculoskeletal infections\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEpiphyseal osteomyelitis\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePediatric hand infections \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePediatric foot infections\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTuberculosis of the axial skeleton\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTuberculosis of the appendicular skeleton \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNon-tuberculous infections of the spine \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection 5: Uncommon musculoskeletal infections\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMusculoskeletal infections in immunocompromised children\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFungal infections \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNecrotizing fasciitis\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGas gangrene\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeningococcal infections\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrucellosis, Hydatid disease, and viral osteomyelitis\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53516328010071,"sku":"9783030957933","price":113.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/pediatric-musculoskeletal-infections-principles-practice-9783030957933","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
