- Musculoskeletal infections (MSIs) are common and problematic in children, and there's debate on whether giving antibiotics early affects culture results.
- A new study will randomly assign kids with MSIs into four groups to see how different timing of antibiotic administration impacts culture sensitivity and clinical outcomes.
- The study will measure several health markers, compare results statistically, and share findings at scientific conferences and in journals after receiving ethical approval.
