Some fascinating bone and joint infection cases in this session - Bacteroides in a neonate, tularaemia in a rural Spanish patient's hip, and a severe multifocal Burkholderia osteomyelitis in tibia and ankle requiring extensive drainage and debridement.

The last one, exposed through farming in the Philippines, recovered superbly, as shown by a video of him dad dancing with his son, just 12 weeks after surgical drainage.
