Candida parapsilosis osteomyelitis following dog bite : a case report and review of the literature
Copyright © 2021 SFMM. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved..
Candida osteomyelitis is uncommon, especially after dog bites. We describe a case of a 63-year-old man without significant comorbidities presenting progressing swelling of the distal interphalangeal joint (DIJ) of right index finger following a dog bite. Despite empiric antibiotic therapy and local medications, there were no clinical signs of improvement. Clinical examination revealed fistula with purulent drainage on the volar region. Even though laboratory data showed inflammatory markers on range, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated signs of osteomyelitis. The patient was taken to exploration and debridement of the bite wound. Culture of the bone biopsy showed growth of Candida parapsilosis. Therefore, the patient was diagnosed with isolated fungal osteomyelitis and was initiated on fluconazole therapy. The treatment was effective and all symptoms were resolved in 8 weeks after the surgery. There were no signs of recurrence after 20 months of follow-up. The patient had no cosmetic abnormalities or sequelae. Concurrently with the description of the case report a review of the literature was provided. According to the authors, there are three main etiopathogenesis for this infection. The first pathogenic mechanism is direct inoculation into the deep tissues through the dog bite. The second hypothesis is direct translocation of the pathogen from the skin to the deep tissue and to the bone. The last mode of transmission is hematogenous dissemination. Fungal osteomyelitis are really rare conditions, especially after dog bites, but nevertheless it should be considered as a possible diagnosis when there is no response to antibiotics.
