Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, Vol. 99 Among the many acute diseases of bones, probably none has attracted more attention of late years than osteomyelitis. This is largely due to the fact that with our advanced knowledge of bacteriology many points in its etiology and causation have been cleared up, and at the same time our methods of treatment are more scientific and accurate. Acute arthritis of infants is a disease which may properly be described under the acute infectious processes of bone. The term was first used by Jules Teilhard La Terrisse in his thesis presented to the Faculty of Medicine of Paris for the degree of doctor of medicine, in 183. He reports three eases in children of three, six, and nine days respectively, and on autopsy in each case found pus in several of the joints. In one case there were also several abscesses in the lung. He believes the joint collections of pus were metastatic, and says that M. Dance, in an article on phlebitis, has cited similar cases. In 1874, Mr. T. Smith, surgeon to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, describes the affection and report twenty-one cases, under the name "Acute Arthritis of Infants."
