6 Cases of Salmonella Ostemyelitis / 대한정형외과학회잡지

Since Maisonneuve mentioned osteomyelitis complicated by typhoid fever for the first time in 1835, numerous investigators had reported salmonella osteomyelitis. The authors recently experienced six cases of salmonella osteomylitis: four cases in lumbar spine and the remainders in bones adjacent to elbow. Four cases were in adult male ranging from 18 to 35 years old and the others were in a male, age of thirteen and female, age of seven in elbow respectively. The two among four spondylitic cases and two cases of long bone ostemyelitis were surgically treated, and the other two spondylitic cases were conservatively treated. Salmonella osteomylitis was confirmed in surgically treated group by culture of pus obtained from pathologic lesion, and conservatively treated group was diagnosed by history, clinical manifestation, laboratory data and especially characteristic progress of roentgenographic change. The causative organisms were paratyphoid group D in all cases. Review of literature was done with report of six cases of salmonella osteomyelitis.
