Ostemielitis in ELBW

Hi all!

Baby 24 week gestation (820 g) in 21 day after birth without previous infection, anemia, O2 therapy, IV infusion, in good condition, develop osteomielitis of left hip. Blood culture- negative, stool – Staph. epidermidis. In R the slot of left hip joint is more than right on 2 mm.

Do you use a local therapy, and what?

Do you use immobilization, and how?

Many thanks, Alex.
