Abstract BACKGROUND:
Musculoskeletal infections in pediatric age group account for 23% of the total infections. The most common musculoskeletal infections in children are Osteomyelitis and Septic Arthritis. Maternal health primarily impacts infants as they get immunity from mothers. In this context, this study was done to evaluate maternal parameters which include serum proteins, hemoglobin levels,maternal history, mode of delivery, type of feed to infant.

MATERIAL AND METHODS:
21 infants were admitted in GMC Jammu with musculoskeletal infections over a period of 9 months who underwent treatment. Their mothers were evaluated thoroughly and various investigations were done.


RESULTS:

32% of the mothers suffered from Gestational Diabetes Mellitus, 24% from anemia, 10% from PIH and 3 % from eclampsia. 70% of infants took birth by vaginal delivery while 30% were by caesarean section.80% of the infants were breastfed whereas 20% of them were fed artificially.
Serum Globulin was low in majority of mothers. Serum Albumin was raised in all the mothers.
