osteomyelitis is known to occur in immunocompromised and sickle cell disease patients. It rarely occurs in other hosts. We present a case of chronic femoral osteomyelitis due to serovar Typhi seen in a Maryland resident. Potential risk factors included traveling to an endemic area as well as a newly diagnosed sickle cell trait and thalassemia trait. It is postulated that less severe hemoglobinopathies may also contribute to an elevated risk of osteomyelitis.
已知骨髓炎发生于免疫功能低下患者和镰状细胞病患者。在其他宿主中很少发生。我们报告一例在马里兰州居民中发现的由伤寒血清型引起的慢性股骨骨髓炎病例。潜在风险因素包括前往流行地区以及新诊断出的镰状细胞性状和地中海贫血性状。据推测,病情较轻的血红蛋白病也可能导致骨髓炎风险升高。
