- Abstract:
- Osteomyelitis of the symphysis pubis is a rarely described bone infection. The main strain of bacteria causing this infection is Staphylococcus aureus, while Pseudomonas aeruginosa is seen most commonly in intravenous drug users. Symmetrical involvement of both pubic bones is usually present. Osteomyelitis of the pubic bones following genital infections in females without a history of previous surgery is very unusual. We present a 47-year-old female patient who, to our best knowledge, is the first case in the literature to develop osteomyelitis of the pubic symphysis after adnexitis caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa without having had previous surgery in that region.
