ABSTRACT
Extraintestinal manifestions of Salmonellosis are rare. Most of cases reported presented gastrointestinal symptoms, and were immunologically compromised. We report a case of a young immunocompetent patient with Salmonella enteritidis spondylodiscitis. She did not present any digestive symptoms. The tomodensitometric exam revaled L2 L3 spondylodiscitis. The culture of the biopsy yielded S. enteritidis. In the litterature, 115 cases of non-typhoidal salmonellosis were reported. Most of cases occur in patients immunologically compromised by sickle cell disease. Salmonella enteritidis, Salmonella typhimurium and Salmonella choleraesuis were the most common serotypes described
