    S aureus sternal osteomyelitis can complicate bone marrow aspiration, even with minimal infection risk. Prompt antibiotic treatment led to a full recovery in this case.

    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Orthopedics
    • Clinical Procedures

    Background:

    • Bone marrow aspiration is a common diagnostic procedure.
    • Surgical site infections can occur even with minimally invasive procedures.
    • Osteomyelitis is a serious bone infection.

    Observation:

    • A 24-year-old male developed sternal osteomyelitis post-bone marrow aspiration.
    • The infection was caused by Staphylococcus aureus.
    • The infection localized to the aspiration site.

    Findings:

    • The patient received intravenous nafcillin followed by oral dicloxacillin.
    • The osteomyelitis resolved completely with antibiotic therapy.
    • No complications were reported following treatment.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the risk of iatrogenic infections from clinical procedures.
    • Emphasizes the importance of vigilant monitoring for infections post-aspiration.
    • Demonstrates the effectiveness of appropriate antibiotic therapy for S. aureus osteomyelitis.
