Abstract | The vaso-occlusive crises of sickle cell disease are accompanied by bone necrosis, which favors endogenous bacterial colonization and thus osteomyelitis. This poses a major challenge for eradication and fracture management.A 22-year-old patient with sickle cell disease sustained a multifragmentary, humeral shaft fracture. During surgical management, pus drained from the fracture site and further diagnostic work-up revealed osteomyelitis with evidence of Klebsiella aerogenes. Septicemia due to Klebsiella aerogenes had been treated 5 months prior to the accident, which occured because of a vaso-occlusive crisis. This is associated with clustered bone necrosis and endogenous germ colonization. Eradication of the germs and fracture care become a challenge. Repeated surgical procedures with segmental transfer can be a successful treatment option. |
