AI Article Synopsis
- The text discusses an uncommon pathogen that primarily causes ear and skin infections in dogs, but has been linked to cases of chronic osteomyelitis in humans.
- The condition of chronic osteomyelitis is characterized by bone damage and complications from untreated infections, with the text highlighting three cases where factors like immunosuppression and surgery were present.
- The report emphasizes the importance of early detection and specialized treatment in managing osteomyelitis, presenting an unusual case of the condition in a young, otherwise healthy individual.
Article Abstract
represents an uncommon pathogen in human infections. As a veterinary pathogen, causes canine ear and skin infections. Chronic osteomyelitis is a progressive process characterized by bone destruction and the formation of sequestrum. It may be a sequela of untreated or undertreated acute osteomyelitis or septic arthritis. Descriptions detailing the pathogenicity and virulence of osteomyelitis were limited to a few case reports. Among the three reported cases of osteomyelitis, immunosuppression, malignancy, and recent surgical procedures were comorbidities. Compared to those who are immunosuppressed, immunocompetent individuals are generally not susceptible to uncommon microorganisms. Early detection of osteomyelitis, aggressive appropriate prolonged antimicrobial treatment and a multidisciplinary approach contribute to optimal recovery. We report the first case of chronic osteomyelitis in an immunocompetent adolescent.
