[Pseudomonas stutzeri osteitis: A case study].
We report a case of osteitis in a 46-year-old patient, caused by Pseudomonas stutzeri following an open fracture of the left femur. The patient was treated with 1g ceftazidime every 8 hours for two weeks combined with 160 mg/day of amikacin for 10 days. A second-line ofloxacin oral treatment at 400 mg/day was then given during 4 weeks. Surgical treatment consisted in debridement of the fracture region. Sterilization of the fracture region led to an osteosynthesis by blade plate and bone graft. The result was favorable.
