    Summary

    This case study highlights a rare instance of brucellosis affecting a single metatarsal bone in a child. Early diagnosis through pus sample analysis enabled effective treatment for this unusual bone infection.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric infectious diseases
    • Orthopedic pathology
    • Bacteriology

    Background:

    • Brucellosis is a zoonotic bacterial infection with diverse clinical manifestations.
    • Osteoarticular involvement is common, but isolated metatarsal brucellosis is exceptionally rare.
    • Pediatric brucellosis requires careful consideration of atypical presentations.

    Observation:

    • A child presented with symptoms suggestive of a bone lesion in the foot.
    • The initial clinical sign was an epiphyseal detachment following minor trauma.
    • Radiographic findings indicated lesions in the diaphysis and epiphyses of a metatarsal bone.

    Findings:

    • Bacteriological examination of pus confirmed Brucella infection.
    • The isolated involvement of a single metatarsal bone was a unique presentation.
    • The epiphyseal cartilage fragility contributed to the detachment.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering brucellosis in pediatric bone infections, even with rare localizations.
    • Early bacteriological diagnosis is crucial for timely and effective treatment of pediatric brucellosis.
    • Understanding the biomechanical impact of Brucella lesions on bone integrity is vital for orthopedic management.
