Abstract
✓ Two cases of osteomyelitis of the spine caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa are described. The organism apparently was introduced by contaminated syringes or needles used by heroin addicts. This organism and the pathology should be kept in mind in patients known to have been heroin addicts and who are suffering from spinal problems especially if there is evidence of infection.
