Skin and Soft Tissue Infection and Osteomyelitis Due to Salmonella enteritidis: A Case Report

Abstract

Salmonella osteomyelitis is rare in immunocompetent patients and commonly seen in patients with underlying disease such as sickle cell anemia, thalassemia, diabetes mellitus or immunocompromised disease. We report a case of skin and soft tissue infection and osteomyelitis due to Salmonella enteritidis in a 72 years old male with no significant comorbidities succesfully treated with antimicrobial therapy and surgical intervention.
