Abstract
Background: Acute hematogenous osteomyelitis of neonatal origin is rare in clinical studies. Diagnosing and treating it early to decrease the sequelae is essential. The aim is to give medical practitioners a particular and rare case so that readers know how to diagnose and treat exceptional cases like these. Methodology: Clinical presentation, blood investigations, imaging studies, and blood culture outcomes. Results: There have not been any adverse sequelae after effective antibiotic therapy. Conclusion: Early diagnosis and treatment of neonatal osteomyelitis are of significant importance.
Keywords: Acute hematogenous, Neonatal osteomyelitis
