We report 2 cases of gas-forming vertebral osteomyelitis in diabetic patients. Both were caused by gram-negative bacilli, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae respectively. Both ran a fulminant course to death despite appropriate parenteral antibiotics. We suggest that early surgical intervention may be needed in cases with gas-forming vertebral osteomyelitis.
我们报告了2例糖尿病患者的产气性椎体骨髓炎病例。两例分别由革兰氏阴性杆菌大肠杆菌和肺炎克雷伯菌引起。尽管使用了适当的胃肠外抗生素，两例均呈暴发性病程并死亡。我们建议，对于产气性椎体骨髓炎病例可能需要早期手术干预。
