Abstract
Osteoarticular infections caused by Non-typhi Salmonella are exceptionally encountered. We report a case of a bacteriologically documented knee joint infection due to Salmonella enterica serotype enteritidis, following trauma in a child with thalassemia major. Emergency arthrotomy combined with antimicrobial therapy was helpful in eradication of infection. Physicians should be aware of this rare manifestation of Non-typhi Salmonella infections in thalassemic patients.Entities:
