Summary

A rare case of vertebral osteomyelitis caused by Pasteurella aerogenes in an otherwise healthy man highlights the pathogen's potential in human infections. Prompt antibiotic treatment led to successful bone infection resolution.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Microbiology
  • Orthopedic Surgery

Background:

  • Pasteurella aerogenes is typically an animal pathogen, rarely causing severe human infections.
  • Vertebral osteomyelitis is a serious bone infection, often requiring aggressive treatment.

Observation:

  • A previously healthy 62-year-old man developed C6-C7 vertebral osteomyelitis.
  • No history of animal contact, immunosuppression, or other predisposing factors was noted.

Findings:

  • Culture and identification confirmed Pasteurella aerogenes as the causative agent.
  • Treatment with cloxacillin and gentamicin resulted in clinical improvement.
  • Serial magnetic resonance imaging scans showed resolution of the bone infection.

Implications:

  • This case expands the known spectrum of Pasteurella aerogenes infections in humans.
  • Highlights the importance of considering unusual pathogens in vertebral osteomyelitis.
  • Demonstrates effective antibiotic therapy for Pasteurella-induced osteomyelitis.
