Abstract

Salmonella osteoarticular infections involve mainly long bones such as the femur, tibia, and humerus in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). We report here two unusual cases of Salmonella osteoarthritis affecting sacroiliac and sternoclavicular joints in two patients with SCD, one patient also being followed for rheumatoid arthritis. Because of misleading presentation, diagnosis of septic osteoarthritis in patients with SCD requires a high index of suspicion and an early treatment.
