摘要
Background: Achromobacter xylosoxidans is an opportunistic environmental aerobe. In cases where A. xylosoxidans infects humans, it most commonly manifests as bacteraemia in the immunosuppressed. A. xylosoxidans causing chronic osteomyelitis is rare, particularly in the immunocompetent and young. Case: We present the case of a 23-year-old man with chronic osteomyelitis of the right femur caused by co-infection of A. xylosoxidans and Staphylococcus aureus. Five years earlier, he had sustained a right femur fracture and was treated with intramedullary fixation at a peripheral hospital in a developing nation. Past medical history was otherwise unremarkable. Management comprised of surgical debridement and culture-directed antibiotic therapy, resulting in clinical cure. Conclusion: In the context of local trauma and previous surgery, osteomyelitis caused by atypical pathogens must be considered. A multidisciplinary approach commensurate with duration and severity of infection and tailored to the causative organism is paramount. (C) 2021 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Ltd.
