A Case of Chronic Cranial Osteomyelitis Caused by Klebsiella Aerogenes

Background: Klebsiella aerogenes is an opportunistic pathogen that can cause respiratory, gastrointestinal, and urinary tract infections; however, chronic osteomyelitis caused by this pathogen has not been reported in the literature.Case Presentation: In this article, we report a case of a patient who presented with symptoms of chronic osteomyelitis after craniocerebral trauma and was diagnosed with chronic cranial osteomyelitis of K. aerogenes on the basis of imaging and wound secretion culture.Conclusions: For patients with a history of previous fracture, bacterial culture should be carried out promptly when the wound does not heal and pus forms in the sinus tract.Antibiotics should be targeted according to the results of bacterial culture to avoid delaying the condition.
