چکیده
Salmonella osteomyelitis is a rare clinical entity and is mostly seen in patients with sickle cell anemia and other various underlying conditions such as diabetes mellitus, systemic lupus erythematosus, lymphoma, or immunosuppressive 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 healthy patient. The patient was treated with radical surgical debridement and long-term combined antibiotic therapy.
