The following results were obtained: 1. The incidence of the pyogenic hip was slightly higher in male than female as 11 versus 7 and it was higher in the age group of 5~7 years and 11~13 years. 2. The most of the etiological microorganism was coagulase positive stap hylococcus aureus. 3. Penicillin was resistant to staphylococcus aureus in about 75% of cases, and orbenin and Lincocin were most sensitive in 58.2% of cases. 4. All cases treated with arthrotomy and irigation or drainage, but prognosis was different by method of surgical approach and method of treatment. 5 In reference with progoosis early hospitalization, early diagnosis and early treatment were counted to be imperative as known.
