Abstract

Salmonella osteomyelitis is a rare clinical entity and is mostly seen in pa-tients with sickle cell anemia and other various underlying conditions such as diabetes mellitus, systemic lupus erythematosus, lymphoma, or immu-nosuppressive drug use. We report a case of osteomyelitis and soft tissue abscess due to Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Enteritidis that developed during the course of corticosteroid therapy in an otherwise he-althy patient. The patient was treated with radical surgical debridement and long-term combined antibiotic therapy
