Abstract
Patients with sickle-cell haemoglobinopathy are more susceptible to osteomyelitis than normal people. The commonest causative organism in such cases has been widely reported as the salmonella species. Our findings in a prospective study of 21 consecutive patients with osteomyelitis in sickle-cell haemoglobinopathy show that the staphylococcus species is the most likely causative organism.Entities:
