Salmonella species can be isolated from stool specimen at a frequency of 0.2–1.8% in pregnant women in industrialized countries, but invasive salmonellosis during pregnancy appears to be exceedingly rare with only 178 instances reported in the literature [1–5]. Possibly due to reporting bias, the majority were caused by Salmonella typhi and only six cases were caused by non‐typhoidal Salmonellae.…”

Salmonella osteomyelitis is rare in the immunocompetent host, even though Salmonella is not an infrequent public health problem. Invasive salmonellosis has in general a poor outcome in pregnancy with regard to fetal survival. We report the case of a healthy woman who developed Salmonella osteomyelitis of the iliac bone four weeks after a febrile gastroenteritis in the first trimester of pregnancy. Diagnosis was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging scanning of the iliac bone and a growth of Salmonella enteritidis in blood culture. The patient recovered fully after six weeks treatment with intravenous antibiotics and delivered a healthy infant at 40 weeks.
