This case report is presented because of its rarity, the extensive osteomyelitic lesion, and the difficulty encountered in establishing the diagnosis early in the disease. REPORT OF CASE S. F., a 27-month-old Negro boy, was admitted to Jackson Memorial Hospital on Sept. 14, 1954, with the chief complaint of fever and swelling of the right elbow of three days' duration. The patient was first seen at Jackson Memorial Hospital seven days prior to admission, with a two-day history of fever and intermittent pain in all four extremities. Examination at this time revealed a well-developed, well-nourished, Negro boy, having a rectal temperature of 99 F and no significant physical findings. Laboratory studies showed a hemoglobin of 9.4 gm. per 100 cc. (capillary blood) and 12 nucleated RBC's per 100 RBC's, and the sickling preparation demonstrated 85% sickling. The diagnosis of sickle-cell crisis was made, and the patient was treated symptomatically. He

IN JANUARY, 1954, a new syndrome of abnormal central nervous system activity in young infants was reported.* This consisted of increased irritability, gastrointestinal distress, aggravated startle response, and convulsive seizures. The symptoms were shown to respond to pyridoxine therapy with both clinical and electroencephalographic improvement. These observations confirmed earlier ones by Snyderman, Carretero, and Holt and established the importance of vitamin B 6 in infant nutrition.† It is significant to note that the conditions surrounding the appearance of these symptoms were such as to have produced borderline deficiencies of the vitamin rather than complete avitaminosis. This circumstance has provided a unique opportunity for evaluating the effects of suboptimal tissue levels of this substance during a particularly susceptible stage of human development. Furthermore, these findings have prompted an extensive evaluation of vitamin B 6 in milk preparations used in infant feedings. These two aspects of the problem will be considered in
