Preoperative diagnosis was nonidiopathic scoliosis in 23, idiopathic scoliosis in 5, and Scheuermann\u2019s disease in 1 patient. The etiology was Gram-positive cocci (40.9%), Gram-negative bacilli (27.2%), and polymicrobial infection (31.8%). A mean of 1.5 (1-3) I&amp;D procedures were performed. Intravenous antibiotic treatment was given for a mean of 15.8 (4-86) days, followed by oral treatment for a mean of 335.1 (0-1095) days. Mean follow-up was 5 + 2 years (2 to 14 + 7 years) during which 28 patients were cured (96.6%) and 1 patient developed reinfection (3.4%). This reinfection was treated with oral clindamycin for 6 months. After the infection persisted, the decision was to remove the implants.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this series of 29 pediatric patients who underwent instrumented spinal fusion due to deformity, we reported one case of reinfection (3.4%).
