Non-Traumatic Acute Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Osteomyelitis
Journal Title: Hippocrates Medical Journal - Year 2022, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Osteomyelitis is an infectious disease of bacterial origin, which can cause destruction and necrosis of bone tissue. It often occurs with hematogenous causes in children. The most common agent isolated in all age groups is Staphlyococcus aureus. A 16-year-old girl presented with complaints of swelling, pain and redness in the right big toe. She had no previous history of trauma. She had limited range of motion, swelling and redness in the right big toe, and other system examinations were normal. In the laboratory findings, acute phase reactants were high, but there was no leukocytosis. Periosteal reaction was detected on MR imaging. The patient underwent surgical debridement, nail resection and wound sampling. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was grown in the wound culture. In the literature, Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been reported rarely as a causative agent in cases of osteomyelitis without a history of trauma.
