RICHARD A. LEWIN M.B., B.Chir.1

1 University of Louisville, Department of Pediatrics; Children's Hospital, 226 East Chestnut Street, Louisville, Kentucky 40202

The case presented is of a newborn infant with a fulminating infection with Staphylococcus aureus arising from a pilonidal sinus. The patients admitted over a 10-year period to Louisville Children's Hospital with a diagnosis of pilonidal sinus are reviewed. The disease appears to be of congenital origin in this age group. The potential danger of this condition in infants is emphasized.
