Five patients with a bacterial causation of postoperative osteitis pubis were treated during a three year period. In each patient, the bacterial cause was suggested by a known infectious process adjacent of the symphysis pubis. It is suggested that a bacterial causation be considered for the clinical and roentgenographic syndrome of osteitis pubis if a contigous infectious process is present.
