BACKGROUND: The causative pathogen of pediatric osteomyelitis is often unidentified despite culturing attempts. This study evaluated and compared the clinical characteristics, therapeutic approach, and outcomes of osteomyelitis caused by unknown pathogens and identified microorganisms.
METHOD: This 17-year retrospective study was conducted at a tertiary hospital in central Taiwan. Medical records of children aged less than 18 years with a diagnosis of osteomyelitis between 2003 and 2019 were reviewed.
RESULT: In total, 70 patients (median age = 6.4 years; male = 65.7%) fulfilled the inclusion criteria, of whom 33 (47.1%) were culture negative. Staphylococcus aureus was the main pathogen (67.6% of identified bacteria). The proportion of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) was 44% and 54.5% of the MRSA isolates exhibited clindamycin resistance. Compared to children with culture-positive osteomyelitis, those with culture-negative osteomyelitis had a lower rate of concomitant septic arthritis (40.5% vs. 15.2%, p = 0.019) and leukocytosis on presentation (45.9% vs. 21.2%, p = 0.030); they also required fewer surgical interventions (56.8% vs. 24.2%, p = 0.006) and received a shorter course of total antibiotic therapy (49.0 vs. 43.0 days, p = 0.045). In the culture-negative group, the MRSA coverage rate was 18.8% during initial empirical therapy and increased to 59.4% during further adjusted therapy. The overall complication rate was 18.6% and was lower in the culture-negative group (32.4% vs. 3.0%, p = 0.002).
CONCLUSION: In areas where community-associated MRSA and clindamycin resistance strains are a concern, empirical glycopeptide-based therapy is suggested in pediatric osteomyelitis, particularly in those with culture-negative infections.
