ABSTRACT
Patients on dialysis are immunocompromised and are therefore susceptible to both common and unusual infectious complications. These infections are often related to their dialysis access but even routine diagnostic tests unrelated to dialysis can also lead to rare adverse events. We present an unusual case of clavicular osteomyelitis from Bacteroides fragilis in a patient on maintenance hemodialysis following colonoscopy. The risk factors for this unusual site of infection, the incidence and guidelines for prophylactic antibiotic administration are discussed here.
