Abstract: In 1980, osteomyelitis in childhood was presented from mostly the Yorubas of the Western part of Nigeria with reference to salmonella infection. Of interest, there were the findings of its being most prevalent in the first 2 years of life, and of the 2:1 male to female ratio. Therefore, the present study concerns Igbo elements of the Eastern part but without laboratory identification. The ratio was the same but the first 5 years proved to be the least involved. The findings are discussed at some length including the scarcity of spinal cases.
