In the article on pseudomonas osteomyelitis, which appeared in Pediatrics for March, 1971,1 Figure 2 shows a lytic lesion at the base of the fourth metatarsal taken 2 days prior to admission. Figure 3 is stated to be taken 4 days later and this showed obvious diffuse demineralization with frank destruction of the fourth and fifth proximal metatarsals. It is a littie difficult for me to believe that this destruction occurred in 4 days. I wonder if the radiograph shown in Figure 3 was actually taken between the fourteenth to twentieth days.
