ACUTE PURULENT ARTHRITIS (B. PYOCYANEUS) IN A PREMATURE INFANT

[摘要] A pyogenic arthritis, acute in character, in which B. pyocyaneus was the infecting organism, occurred in a premature white female infant confined to an incubator from birth. The infection cleared rapidly with the administration of dihydrostreptomycin intramuscularly. Its use in irrigating the joint at the time of aspiration may have aided in therapy. On the patient's discharge from the hospital, she seemed normal in every respect.
