Postoperative Osteomyelitis einer Endphalanx am Finger durch Raoultella ornithinolytica

Zusammenfassung

Wir berichten über die Osteomyelitis der Endphalanx am rechten Ringfinger einer 62-jährigen Patientin 11 Monate nach transossärer, transungualer Refixation der tiefen Beugesehne bei traumatischem, geschlossenen Abriss mit Raoultella ornithinolytica. R. ornithinolytica ist ein gramnegatives, aerobes Bakterium. In der Literatur sind bisher nur 13 Fälle von Infektionen mit R. ornithinolytica beim Menschen beschrieben. Unseres Wissens ist dies der erste Fall einer Osteomyelitis durch R. ornithinolytica.

Abstract

We report on a case of osteomyelitis of a distal phalanx of the right ring finger of a 62-year-old patient, which occurred 11 months after transosseous-transungual refixation of a closed flexor digitorum profundus tendon avulsion caused by Raoultella ornithinolytica. R. ornithinolytica is an encapsulated Gram-negative aerobic bacillus. In the literature only 13 cases of human infection by R. ornithinolytica are mentioned. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of an osteomyelitis caused by R. ornithinolytica.
