[Vertebral osteomyelitis in an infant].
Neonatal osteomyelitis is uncommon. The disease starts often without signs of infection and may lead to severe complications. A case is reported of a neonate with vertebral osteomyelitis of the cervical vertebrae. Difficulties of diagnosing the disease and several therapeutic regimes proposed in the literature are discussed.
