Vertebral osteomyelitis due to Roseomonas species: case report and review of the evaluation of vertebral osteomyelitis.
We report what we believe is the first case of vertebral osteomyelitis caused by Roseomonas species. The diagnosis of vertebral osteomyelitis can be difficult. The case illustrates the importance of the establishment of an etiologic diagnosis in vertebral osteomyelitis. The features of Roseomonas species and the evaluation of cases of vertebral osteomyelitis are reviewed.
