A 12-day-old female was found to have osteomyelitis of the maxilla. Her right eye lids were swollen and reddened, and she had a fever. There was pus exuding from a fistula in the alveolar process of the right maxilla. Culture of pus from this area revealed multi-antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. No satisfactory progress was made with antibiotic administration for five days, so surgery was performed with incision and drainage of the right upper eye lid and the right cheek near the inner canthus. On the next day the temperature fell to normal, and within ten days all signs and symptoms subsided.
