ILEOFEMORAL THROMBOSIS AS A COMPLICATION OF ACUTE HEMATOGENOUS OSTEOMYELITIS OF THE FEMORAL BONE IN A 3-YEAR-OLD CHILD

Abstract

The case of acute hematogenous osteomyelitis in a 3-year-old child with the development of a rare and life-threatening complication-deep vein thrombosis of the lower limb with a floating thrombus is described. Anticoagulant therapy under the control of ultrasound duplex scanning of veins of lower extremities allowed to avoid repeated surgery and other complications.
