    Author: Bergdahl S, Elinder G, Eriksson M.
    Journal: Scand J Infect Dis; 1981; 13(4):281-2. PubMed ID: 7313582.
    Abstract:
    Four immature infants developed staphylococcal neonatal osteomyelitis. In spite of standard treatment with cloxacillin, gentamicin and surgical drainage new lesions developed in all 4 patients. Following the addition of fusidic acid no further progress was seen in any of the infants. Fusidic acid was administered intravenously for 10-14 days in a dose of 40 mg/kg/day in 2 divided doses. The therapy was well tolerated. Thoracic kyphosis in one patient was the only sequelae seen.
