  • Title: Pediatric septic bursitis: case report of retrocalcaneal infection and review of the literature.
    Author: Harwell JI, Fisher D.
    Journal: Clin Infect Dis; 2001 Mar 15; 32(6):E102-4. PubMed ID: 11247731.
    Abstract:
    Septic bursitis in children is rarely discussed in the medical literature. This review summarizes the clinical manifestations and management of 10 cases of septic bursitis involving patients aged <16 years. In every case in this series, acute trauma was the predisposing condition. Group A streptococci were frequently isolated from the infected bursa. Septic bursitis, an underappreciated infection in children, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of common childhood conditions.
