ABSTRACT
Salmonellae have been recognized as uncommon etiological organisms causing osteomyelitis in patients with sickle cell anemia and other immunocompromised conditions. A 34-year old man who had no underlying illness except for congenital block vertebrae at T10-11 vertebrae was admitted to the hospital due to lower back pain and fever for a week. Vertebral osteomyelitis was diagnosed and surgical drainage was performed. Salmonella enterica serovar Othmarschen was isolated from the drained pus. Therapy with ciprofloxacin for 8 weeks was successful without relapse. We describe here a case of vertebral osteomyelitis which was caused by S. Othmarschen in an immunocompetent patient.
