Abstract
|
|
|
|
Osteomyelitis caused by nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) is rare in immunocompetent children, and is often difficult to differentiate from a bone tumor, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, soft-tissue inflammation and subacute osteomyelitis. We report NTM osteomyelitis in immunocompetent children that developed at the left distal femoral epiphysis in a 24-month-old boy and at both tali in a 7-year-old boy.
