“…Acute osteomyelitis cases occur in all age groups with a small peak in incidence among pre-pubertal boys, most likely due to strenuous exercise [76]. The rate of bacteremia in bone and joint infections varies among published studies and range from 17 to 35% [70][71][72][73][74][75][76].…”

“…Common predisposing factors include diabetes mellitus, prosthetic joints, pre-existing arthritis, in-dwelling catheters and underlying immunocompromised states [68,69]. The incidence of septic arthritis has been reported to be 5.0-6.7/ 100,000/year and for acute osteomyelitis 2.0-16.0/100,000/ year in children <2 years of age [70][71][72][73]. Acute osteomyelitis is more common in low-income countries and boys are affected twice as often as girls [73][74][75].…”

“…The incidence of osteoarticular infections in children ranges from 7 to 22 per 100,000 person-years based on studies from Europe (493)(494)(495). These infections are more common in males than in females (with incidences in French children of 24 per 100,000 person-years for boys and 19 per 100,000 personyears for girls) and in toddlers than in other age groups (494,495).…”
