Pubis osteomyelitis is an uncommon disease, accounting for less than 1% of all bone infections. It occurs secondarily to hematogenous bacterial planting or direct inoculation. Clinically, it presents with intense acute pubic pain, limited mobility, and high fever, so it is rarely suspected initially. Its diagnosis can be easily confused with pubalgia, that do not respond to treatment. We present the case of a 17-year-old patient who sought consultation for three weeks of coxalgia associated with general discomfort and fever. Following a laboratory and imageological study, the diagnosis of acute pubis osteomyelitis was determined, which required surgical intervention and a subsequent pharmacological therapy for six weeks.
