{Abstract}: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a Gram-negative bacterium known to induce severe infections, is seldomly reported in scientific literature as a contributor of osteomyelitis. In this case report, a 71-year-old woman exhibited recurring infections and enduring forearm pain. A subsequent MRI revealed osteomyelitis in the distal ulna, linked to an arterial blood gas sample taken months earlier. Despite undergoing multiple extended courses of antibiotic treatment, the patient eventually underwent surgery on her left forearm. Biopsy cultures conclusively confirmed the presence of P. aeruginosa.
