[Hematogenous sternal osteomyelitis and community acquired pneumonia in a methicillin-susceptible Staphilococcus aureus sepsis]. / Osteomielitis esternal hematógena y neumonía de la comunidad secundarias a una sepsis por Staphylococcus aureus sensible a meticilina.

We report here a case of primary haematogenous osteomyelitis diagnosed in a young mild asthmatic male with immunocompetence. A hard job worked as trigger of the septic picture from a forunculosis lesion located on the abdominal wall. Meticilin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus was isolated from blood cultures and from sternal aspiration liquid. Two months after clinical onset Ig G 4 elevation was achieved at the immunodeficiency screening. Stafilococycal lung CT images accompanied to the septic course. Intravenous cloxacilin and gentamycin treatment followed by oral rifampicin and levofloxacin achieved a total recovery.

Osteomielitis esternal hematógena y neumonía de la comunidad secundarias a una sepsis por Staphylococcus aureus sensible a meticilina / Haematogeous sternal osteomyelitis and community pneumonia ina meticilin-susceptible staphilococcus aureus sepsis

Presentamos un caso de osteomielitis esternal hematógena en un varón joven con antecedentes de asma moderado y normalidad de las funciones inmunológicas. El cuadro se desencadenó después de un esfuerzo físico importante y probablemente por la reactivación de una lesión foruncular en la pared del abdomen. Se aisló Staphylococcus aureus sensible a meticilina tanto en los hemocultivos como en el líquido extraído de la lesión esternal. Se pudo objetivar una elevación de la fracción Ig G 4 en la fase de reimisión clínica. El cuadro séptico se acompañaba de lesiones pulmonares sugerentes de neumonía neumocócica. El tratamiento a base de cloxacilina y gentamicina por vía endovenosa seguido por Rifampicina y Levofloxacino por vía oral dio como resultado una “restitutio ad integrum"
