초록
This case report details a rare presentation of multifocal osteomyelitis with bilateral femoral pathologic fractures caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae sepsis in a 54-year-old female patient. In the initial evaluation, the patient presented with swelling and pain in the left lower limb. Imaging revealed multiple liver abscesses and deep vein thrombosis. Further bone scan assessments confirmed extensive osteolytic lesions in the femurs and left tibias, which is consistent with multifocal osteomyelitis. Initial management involved broad-spectrum antibiotics and debridement. On the other hand, temporary circular wiring and intramedullary nailing were required for stabilization as fractures developed in both femurs, including additional fixation for a fracture at the curettage site on the contralateral femur. Infected tibial lesions were treated with antibiotic-loaded cement beads after abscess drainage to control local infection. Despite the complexities, the patient ultimately achieved bone union after a year-long recovery, including dynamic conversion of femoral fixation. This paper reports a rare experience in treating multiple osteomyelitis and introduces the emergence of a highly pathogenic hypervirulent K. pneumoniae strain (hvKP), causing invasive infections, including metastatic and severe infections (e.g., osteomyelitis). Furthermore, the authors emphasize that early identification of hvKP and coordinated treatment strategies are crucial for improving the outcomes in severe hvKP-related infections.
