Summary
This study details a rare case of pubic bone osteomyelitis caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Diagnosis required bone biopsy, differentiating it from non-infectious osteitis pubis, and guiding effective antibiotic treatment.
Area of Science:
- Infectious Diseases
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Radiology
Background:
- Pelvic osteomyelitis is rare, often linked to surgery or intravenous drug use.
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common pathogen in these cases.
- Differentiating infectious osteomyelitis from non-infectious osteitis pubis is clinically challenging.
