A Rare Case of Vertebral Osteomyelitis and Bilateral Psoas Abscess From an Unknown Source

Abstract We report the case of a 12 days old baby boy who presented with swelling and bluish discoloration on his left hip at Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences in November 2018. Ultrasound (USS) was useful in making the diagnosis of a neonatal psoas abscess. He was treated with extraperitoneal drainage and with systemic antibiotics. The clinical presentation and diagnosis, treatment of this rare condition and brief literature review is given in this case report. Key Words: Abscess, Iliopsoas, Neonate, Staphylococcus aureus, Extraperitoneal Drainage. Continuous....

ABSTRACTWe applied combination antibiotic therapy to treat vertebral osteomyelitis and a psoas abscess caused by glycopeptide-intermediate (MIC, 2 μg/ml) and daptomycin-nonsusceptible (>2 μg/ml) methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. The Etest synergy test showed the largest synergistic effects for imipenem/cilastatin and fosfomycin. Whole-gene sequencing showed amino acid changes in SA0802, SA1193 (mprF), and SA1531 (ald). Four weeks of combination treatment using imipenem/cilastatin (1.5 g per day) and fosfomycin (4.0 g per day) resulted in clinical improvement.

Cancer Complications

Transrectal ultrasound-guided needle biopsy of the prostate (TRUS)is a well-tolerated and standardized procedure for the diagnosisof prostate cancer. Complications associated with TRUS requiringemergency room visits or hospital admissions are relatively low andinclude complications, such as a 1% risk of urinary retention andless than 1% chance of bacterial sepsis. Vertebral osteomyelitis isa rare complication of TRUS; there are 3 reported cases. Vertebralosteomyelitis has an insidious onset and usually resolves followingmedical intervention. We present an extremely rare case ofvertebral osteomyelitis following TRUS, its clinical outcome andmanagement.
