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.
耻骨骨骨髓炎是一种罕见描述的骨骼感染。引起这种感染的主要细菌菌株是金黄色葡萄球菌，而假单胞菌在静脉吸毒者中最为常见。通常会出现耻骨双侧对称性受累。女性生殖器感染后且无既往手术史的耻骨骨骨髓炎非常罕见。我们报告了一例 47 岁女性患者，据我们所知，这是文献中首例因假单胞菌引起的附件炎后发生耻骨联合骨髓炎且该区域无既往手术史的病例。
