Come by the Denver Medical Library and read the fascinating Case Report of "Bread Mold Osteomyelitis in the Femur" written by P/SL physicians
Ross M. Wilkins, M.D., David B. Hahn, M.D., and Raymond Blum, M.D.
It was recently published in the May 2009 issue of Orthopedics (Volume 32, Number 5, p. 362). This article details a rare case of postoperative Rhizopus osteomyelitis in an otherwise healthy patient. You'll find a copy displayed at the front Reference Desk. Hats off to Drs. Wilkins, Hahn and Blum for an interesting report with a positive outcome on an often fatal infection.
