ABSTRACT
Q1 Regarding osteomyelitis in children which of the following statements is untrue? A Acute haematogenous osteomyelitis (AHO) is the most commonly
occurring form of osteomyelitis in children. B It is caused by deposition of blood-borne organisms in the meta-
physis of the bone. C In the absence of purulence in the metaphysis in the early phases
of the disease, antibiotic treatment alone may control infection. D Once purulence develops it remains within the confines of the
metaphysis and does not extend into the subperiosteal space. E Septic arthritis can be caused by osteomyelitis in regions where the
metaphysis is intra-articular.
