  • Title: Haemophilus influenzae as a cause of Brodie's abscess in an infant.
    Author: Kurlandsky LE, Quinn PH, Sills EM.
    Journal: Johns Hopkins Med J; 1979 Jan; 144(1):15-7. PubMed ID: 310910.
    Abstract:
    Brodie's abscess is a form of subacute osteomyelitis which is defined by a particular constellation of clinical, radiological and pathological features. Its occurrence in infants is extremely rare. This case documents just such an occurrence. To our knowledge, the pathogen Haemophilus influenzae has not been previously recognized as a cause of Brodie's abscess in particular or subacute osteomyelitis in general. The clinical presentation and diagnostic pitfalls which may be encountered in this age group are discussed.
