Salmonella osteomyelitis in children is an uncommon condition, typically associated with hemoglobinopathies or other underlying disorders. Only few cases have been reported in children without predisposing factors. We describe 4 cases of Salmonella osteomyelitis in otherwise healthy children. Since treatment duration is expected to be prolonged, the practice of direct inoculation of aspirates into blood culture bottles appears to be essential for diagnosis and targeted therapy.
儿童沙门氏菌骨髓炎是一种罕见病症,通常与血红蛋白病或其他潜在疾病相关。仅有少数无易感因素的儿童病例被报道。我们描述了4例健康儿童患沙门氏菌骨髓炎的病例。由于预计治疗时间会延长,将穿刺液直接接种到血培养瓶的做法对于诊断和靶向治疗似乎至关重要。
