title: Whole pelvic osteomyelitis: unusual finding in staphylococcal sepsis.
abstract: We describe an infrequent case of combined infection of bone, articulation and lung by Staphylococcus aureus, with affectation of all pelvic bones. Studies with 99m Tc pyrophosphate were repeatedly negative, becoming positive following the appearance of radiological signs.
