Purulent Tendon Sheath Infection

DAVID R. FISCHEL MD1

1 Pocatello Children and Adolescent Clinic, 527 South 12th Avenue, Pocatello, ID 83205

To the Editor.—

We recently cared for a young patient who had a rather unusual infection. Review of the standard pediatric literature and a Medline search yielded no other descriptions of this particular entity. Therefore, I am submitting a description of this child's examination and treatment in order to share this with other pediatricians who may have already encountered or who may in the future encounter a similar clinical problem.

Five days before this child's admission, the babysitter of this 12-month-old caucasian girl reported to the infant's mother that the child would not bear weight on her left foot and would not walk.
