High-resolution infrared imaging to detect bone, joint and soft-tissue infections in children
We will test whether a 10-second high-resolution infrared thermal video can help detect bone, joint, or soft-tissue infections in children up to 15 years old.
-
Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole versus clindamycin for children with invasive MRSA infections
This will see if trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole works as well as clindamycin to treat invasive MRSA infections in children aged 60 days to 18 years.
-
Oral antibiotics for treating bone and joint infections in children
This study is testing if giving oral antibiotics first can effectively and safely treat uncomplicated bone and joint infections in children and teens aged 3 months to 17 years.
-
Oral antibiotics for treating bone and joint infections in children
This study tests if giving only oral antibiotics can effectively treat bone and joint infections in children, compared to the usual method that starts with IV antibiotics.
-
Using alpha-defensin and synovial proteins to diagnose pediatric septic arthritis
This study is testing if certain proteins in joint fluid can help doctors better diagnose septic arthritis in children who might have joint infections.
