We report three cases of iatrogenically induced vertebral osteomyelitis due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa. One case was a post-nucleotomy and post-operative complication of herniated disk treatment, one was related to infection of an epidural catheter in a patient suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and the third followed urinary investigation in a patient with prostate cancer. Infection was cured in all patients with antibiotic treatment. These case reports shed light on the possibility of infections with pseudomonas aeruginosa, in addition to the more common infections such as by staphylococci, especially following iatrogenic maneuvers.
我们报告了3例由铜绿假单胞菌引起的医源性脊椎骨髓炎病例。1例是椎间盘突出症治疗后行髓核摘除术及术后并发症，1例与类风湿性关节炎患者的硬膜外导管感染有关，第3例发生在一名前列腺癌患者接受泌尿检查之后。所有患者经抗生素治疗后感染均得到治愈。这些病例报告揭示了除葡萄球菌等更常见感染外，铜绿假单胞菌感染的可能性，尤其是在医源性操作之后。
